Summit on Tuesday!

The team summited yesterday!  It was a beautiful sunny day, but the wind was blowing pretty hard up high, and not everyone made it to the top due to the conditions.  They got back late last night, and Heidi said that the guides were up until almost 3am melting snow and making sure everyone was fed and settled in before going to sleep.  Heidi was just getting up this morning, and they plan to head on down after breakfast.  Everyone did great yesterday, and made it to over 19,700 feet before the wind and cold forced a retreat.  I'm sure they are all exhausted this morning. 

I don't have details right now on who reached the top yesterday, I'll talk to Heidi again tonight and try to get names.
