Update from Greg

Published by Greg May 21st, 2006 in Everest

At 9:15 p.m. Pacific time on Saturday night (10 a.m. on Sunday morning , 5/21 in Nepal) Brenda called from basecamp, having safely gotten off the mountain. She sounded great. She relayed lots of details about the climb, which I will put together and post in the next day or so. Brenda’s plan is to hang out in basecamp the rest of Sunday and Monday, in order to rest and get packed. She will probably start trekking down the valley on Tuesday, 5/23, which should put her back in Seattle next Sunday (5/28), give or take a day or two. I told her about how many of you had called, emailed, or posted positive thoughts for her during and after the summit climb. I am heading out to the (much smaller) mountains myself early tomorrow a.m., but when I get back I will write up the email with the details about Brenda’s summit climb.

–Regards, Greg

    Spectacular news!!! Brenda must still feel like she is on “top of the world.” It is a tremendous accomplishment that she summited the highest point on this earth and is now safely down at BC. Echoing Jim Doyle, the trek out will be absolutely beautiful.
