Back to 2010 Everest Expedition

Back at Base Camp - all are safe and sound

I was already asleep after an 11-hour-long climb down the mountain, straight from Camp 4 to Base Camp. That part was far worse than going to the summit. Anyway, I woke up and realized I had neglected the blog. I will upload pictures and stories in 10 hours or so, when I wake up and can think clearly. The fact that we’ve all summitted has not sunk in yet, although Ran, Kenton and I are very proud to have raised the Navy SEAL flag depicting the trident on the summit. Much to the surprise of the Indian army mountain corps, who were watching us unroll our big blue flag. Last thought of the day: Go SEALs! Without you guys, this would not have been the outcome.

  3. Congratulations! Wow. You did it! I heard it was more dangerous descending than ascending and was so anxious to hear you were okay. We prayed for your safety daily and was so relieved to hear you made it down safely. Get a well deserved rest and come see us in Hawaii. Looking forward to meeting you one day. Aloha, Nancy Webb
