Summit!

Bob and all 8 folks on the team made the summit at 1:34 PM today!!!   Hoo-hah!

Way to go, dude. Highest point in the Western Hemisphere and you were there!

Got the message earlier this evening while at dinner. Bob said that everyone did great, no health issues, but he was tired and heading to bed. Tomorrow they descend all the way to Base Camp, breathe the thick air, and he hopes to post a story directly here using Base Camp's internet connection.

Happy New Year, all!
