They remind me of what a fantastic ride this has been - whether you work in Bellevue delivering First Ascent product to stores, professionally manage the basecamp and man the radio 24/7 or step by step climb to the top of the world to bring this message of EB returning to Everest to everyone. The blogs have been incredible, the photography awe-inspiring, and the spirit of the journey will remain in my head for a long time to come. Thanks to all and we look forward to being able to applaud your success when everyone is back home safe and sound.

And we wish all those who are on their way home, safe travels, and those whose home is on the mountain, we pray that she watches over you. How bitter sweet, the journey is nearly over, the blog is wrapping up and everyone seems to be safe and sound, it has been an incredible couple of weeks. My teachers would have paid money for me to be so interested in reading. All kidding aside, a last thank you to everyone involved that made this site, this climb and this experience possible. It truly has been a once in a life time opportunity. Best of luck to all in all endeavors that you may take on. It has been a blast! Good Luck & God Speed Fantastic!

Please continue the blogs until everybody is back in Katmandu. There are so many people who care about you all and want to know how things are going on your way back from Basecamp. Besides, this expedition has become part of our lives.. I will miss your stories. Please be Safe.
