We heard that the team made it to the top at lunchtime today and all so happy and proud at what they have achieved. It has been without doubt the hardest thing many of them have had to do and all are exhausted. They have made it to camp and full descent to the lodge starts tomorrow.
Well done to everyone, I have had many emails from people waiting to hear and am sure the guys will send everyone photos when they have signal!
Speaking to Renia last night, Tom is in her thoughts every day and is so happy that this has been put together by Emylie to remember Tom and a trip he did some 11 years ago.
Well done guys and hope you all celebrate with a beer tomorrow.
Congratulations
