More summits!

Greg and Nima summit; Bob makes 25,000ft

3 Oct: Greg and Nima summit

We set off around 5am on what seemed a prefect day, but soon Jamie spotted high winds on either side of the mountain. However although there were some scary clouds flying a little above the summit this serious wind never actually hit the mountain.

Nima and Greg climb the steepest section or the route, a nasty mixed section and a tangle of old fixed ropes, plus the new rope we put up on the previous day - Jamie

Nima hauling rope up (in his pack) helping for a true summit push later - Jamie

Jamie on top for the second time in two days - Nima

Greg supremely happy - Nima

4 Oct: Warwick and Pasang summit

Warwick has a hard night the previous night and so wanted to wait until today. Ever flexible, we could do this. Pasang and Warwick summitted in prefect conditions.

Dawa cleaning up back at ABC - Jamie

We are all back safe at ABC. Most of the team will head to Base Camp on 7 Oct, arriving in Kathmandu evening of 8 October.
