Hello Daddy Tom from Emma. Hi Daddy. I really miss you. It is really cold here. Maybe not as cold as where you are. How far up the mountain are you? Miss you and love you lots. Come home soon. Emma

Guys and (Gal),
Great job! All the long nights in the tents and the heavy breathing will be washed away by your achievement and confidence of this summit.
I took a chopper out of BC about an hour after I treked out. Jeff, keep the kindle safe and dont let em pack my gear with the gigantic blue bag if you know what I mean.
I look forward to hearing about the last three days.
p.s. If you stay any extra nights, my suggestion is to blow out of the nutibara and head to the Park Hyatt, a nice - after mountain retreat. Again, great job guys and be safe on the haul down to BC. I went the porter route and now I know how they get down so fast! Through the glacier and over the hill we went….
