Linden Mallory, Base Camp Manager (LM): It’s 1:45PM here on May 19th and the summit team returned to the South Col about a ½ hour ago. They made great time coming down from the summit, getting down in about 3 ½-4 hours. They are all in fine spirits. Really happy to be back. Definitely a long day under their belts so they are tucking in, boiling water, making tea, trying to rest and rehydrate before they descend to Camp 2 tomorrow and return down here to Base Camp the following day. We are all really excited about the great work that they have done today and are looking forward to seeing them again in a couple of days down here safe and sound.
