Team Everest safely in base camp, heading home!

 

 

Today we descended from our Camp 2 and arrived in base camp to shower,
eat, and begin packing for our departure tomorrow. We are celebrating
with our Sherpa team and recalling great memories from the last 2
months. Some members will fly out via helicopter tomorrow while
others will begin the trek down to Lukla, then fly via twin otter to
Kathmandu. This will conclude the cybercasts for Alpine Ascents "Team
Everest".

We had a very successful Everest & Lhotse expedition, with 9 climbers,
4 guides, and 10 climbing Sherpa making the summit of Everest
together. Then 3 climbers, 2 guides, and 2 climbing Sherpa reached
the summit of Lhotse approximately 23 hours later. We have been very
fortunate for a safe and successful expedition, and wish to thank
everyone involved for their support. We are all very much looking
forward to heading home and reconnecting with family, friends, & loved
ones.

Thanks for following!

Garrett Madison, Expedition Leader
