Mt. Everest: Hahn and team finish their trek

Billy Nugent led the way out of Namche, down the big hill and into the valley of a thousand farms and small villages. We made it in six hours to a comfy tea house next to the airstrip in Lukla. The rain caught us for the last hour or so, but didn't actually bother anybody enough to make them put a raincoat on. We ate the afternoon away in our new low-altitude home. Mark Tucker made a surprise appearance for dinner, having finished up his duties at Basecamp today and figured out a way to heli-hike in minutes what had filled up three days for the rest of us. We are now poised for an early wake-up and some airport hustle that may or may not get us to Kathmandu by fixed-wing aircraft. All depends on the weather. Best Regards, RMI Guide Dave Hahn

Dave - Have you got a return flight back.  I see on their website John All & the remainder of the American Climber Scientist Program are trying to stick it out in hopes of collecting enough data from the mountain to make the trip beneficial and payoff.  Their reports sound very intense up at EBC.  They must be pretty short-handed loosing the help of the Sherpas.  (Hummm…..)

I don’t know the mountains and will not have the pretention to make any comment about this expedition but I believe that Sherpas’s family, friends, guides, climbers… and whoever was there during this tragedy, need a Huge Encouragement right now, whatever the logistic and the future of this Ice Fall climb will be… but just by “watching” the RMI team going down the hill with such a dignity, make me believe in humanity again. Thank you. Cheers up team !

To Dave Hahn and team…..luck at times prevails. Bad luck on this Attempt could have been an absolute disaster for all involved on your team. Cool heads prevailed and great decisions made to not move forward. Any team member laying out that kind of money knows the risk/ reward of Everest. Great work Dave and RMI.
