Amazing job! I have been following your progress all day (and from the first post on this blog). Thanks for sharing this with all of us. This blog has been great.
But remember, as Ed would say: “…getting down is mandatory.” So be careful. I look forward to your safe return to BC. I, like many others wish that I could be there to greet you with cheers (and a nice Coke) as you enter camp.
Best of luck ti Dave, Seth, Melissa, and Erica as they make their summit push in the coming days.
