Wishing Diane, Randy and Denise better travels in the Andes then the trip down from Detroit and Miami along with marvelous weather. I hope Michigan and Utah gets all of the snow and cold weather instead of hitting your adventure!
Take care!

The skill of a great pilot is proven only when the plane lands its passengers safely back on the runway. Same with mountain guides.
Nice job Steve and team. It is what guiding is all about!

You guys are great. Thanks to the guides for getting everybody up there. Bill is coming home soon… I guess I have to start cleaning the house again.

Just got 15 inches of snow over night. Temps in the low teens. Probably much better where you are.
Scenery looks beautiful up top there. Hope the weather cooperates for a good summit attempt.
Hike well and be safe.

George,
Glad to hear that all is well. We head to Asheville tomorrow to eat dinner with Barry and the family. After dinner, we are off to a Charlotte hotel to get a little sleep before an early flight to Pasadena. With a little luck, we will have a double celebration on Monday—Your triumphal summit and a BCS trophy with Auburn’s name on it. War Eagle!

Happy New Year Beng Hoe. It is so cool being able to follow the expedition through the blog. All the more so as we are able to see you in the a number of the photos, even if it is the back of your head! It is so beautiful out there. It must be amazing to be spending New Year up there. Miss you. Helen, Laura and Andrew

Hey Steve and team,
I’ll trade you some of your heat for the 18 inches of snow and sub zero wind chills we’re expecting in Boston over the next 24 hours!
Hike well and be safe.

Awesome photo! Great job, dad (Lew Smith)! Best of luck to you and the team! Climb smart, and climb on!
Love you!
