Mountain Madness:
Dispatch #39 - May 17, 2004
Summit Day 6:30 am
This is Sarah Henley reporting. Willie, Murray, Gene, Undi, and Mingma have arrived to South Summit. There is some low fog but they are above the clouds. They reported that there is practically no wind to speak of - great news! They are all tired but are hanging in there. At this point they head to the Hillary Step and then it is not too far to the top. I would expect them to be at the summit in an hour or two. I will continue to give updates.
Gary and Phendon made it back to Camp 4 and are warm and resting in tents.
