All is good.
VERY sorry for no comms. Impossible.
We worked like slaved horses, climbed like our lives depended on it, and lived under the shadow of Everest and all that it is. As for our summit…..not yet. We did two extremely hard days, but frankly….ran out of patience, food, and day light.
MUCH different than our normal world of adventure racing….this summit will always be here. We will come back to complete this insane, rarely climbed route we selected. MORE on this later.
As we said, MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. This was always about a recon trip for Jordan, and we accomplished this and 5 tons more. Again, details to come. Many mysteries solved and we are more confident in Jordan accomplishing this grand goal, than ever before.
Health report: skinny. Tan. Hungry. Did i mention skinny?
We are in the middle of a 30mile run, making this trip off Everest in 2 days, normally a 4-7 day trip. Sun, warmth, and now we are amongst trees for the first time in 2 weeks. you CAN”T believe how important green is folks.
We are 2 weeks no shower, nor fresh food and will get both tonight in Lukla. Early a.m. flight to Katmandu, then more reports and updates.
Watch for thrilling report on crevasse rescue, and much much more.
Dad- DON”T WORRY!!!!!
Jordan- miss you, be good and GO TRAIN.
Ram-thanks for all, we’ll meet Nema in Namche for permit/trash details, around 12noon. he is great.
We stayed at Himalayan in Pheriche last night.
Perhaps please check on Tibet guest house, room 213 (only room with wifi)
Namaste

It’s easy for you to say “DON”T WORRY” It’s my job to worry just as you guys worry about Jordan.
I was so glad to hear you made it back down.
Now that you have laid the ground work for Jordan’s climb I am sure it will be a climb with good planing and strategy.
Do they have tortillas and beans over there??? Eat tons of bean buritos .
Love you guys,
Dad

“skinny and tan”…Glad to year you guys are back to “normal” and cant wait to hear the DETAIL from the adventure!
