Summits!

Andy, Dave and Anselm summit with Jamie, Jangbu, Chewang and Pasang Gombu.

21 May - Summit!

We set off around 10pm on the 20th, topping out around 11am, and we finally left the summit around 1pm (yes, that is late!). Stories and more photos in a later dispatch. The 69 year old woman didn't pass Andy - in fact we don't think she summitted.

There is a voice dispatch by me from the summit on MountEverest.net, search for "Jamie McGuinness" and it is on the 21st of May.
