Bill called this morning and we then received a podcast from Neal Beidleman, both informing us that the team is safely back at Camp 2, and looking forward to one more day of downward travel before returning to Base Camp. It sounds like summit day was a really nice one, with some clouds wafting about, but great weather overall.
They will get up early tomorrow and begin their descent at about 5 am tomorrow morning.
