Congratulations...well done...now come home safely. Joan
I talked to Fred this morning and he said that it was a picture perfect day for a summit with clear blue skys. While on the summit, not sure how long they did stay, but they got to watch a crew practice helicopter rescue manuveurs on the south summit, they were on the north (true) summit about a 1/4 mile away. They are working their way down the mountain over the next couple days and could be back in Denver on Saturday, at the very earliest. It's all dependent on the weather conditions. Thanks for following the team!
