Summit!!! (update)

2/14/2013

Adam's SPOT, and therefore Adam, made the summit at 10:47 am CST. I (Emily aka Basecamp Steinbach) received the following message: "We made it to the summit. We are now heading down." The SPOT tells me that at present they are down around 6000 metres (19,600 ft) and descending rapidly. Congrats and wishing you a safe descent. 

I just spoke with Adam--he and Gaspar made the summit together. They are doing well and have now reached Berlin and will continue on to Nido. Adam commented that he is pretty "done" and plans to sleep for a week when he returns home next week. The weather at the top was gorgeous with winds at only 5 km/h. At present it is snowing and it looks like the weather has turned for the worse looking up at the summit.

“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.”
