Update : MountainWaz Everest Expedition 2005
SWEET SUCCESS: Scott (Wazny) called me from Base Camp this morning (6/1), so I am thrilled to report that he has safely summited and descended the mountain! As Ed Viesturs says, "Getting to the summit is optional; getting down is mandatory."
Scott said that he and Gelzen Sherpa summited around 10am on May 30 (Nepal time).
They arrived today (June 1) at Base Camp, so they are packing up and heading to Lukla, where he will fly to Kathmandu and from there he flies home as soon as possible! He had to adjust his flight plans due to the late opening in the weather this season, but he is hurrying home.
He was very excited (of course!), and he is definitely feeling well and in good spirits. He confirmed that all of his digits are intact, and he didn't suffer any frostbite! He did say that his face was chapped from the wind but that he hoped it would be all healed up by the time he comes home, and I noticed that he also had a bit of the "Khumbu cough." Other than that, he sounds very healthy.
Congratulations, Scott! We are all very proud of you and can't wait to see you!
Note: I would like to extend my personal thanks to EverestNews.com for all the updates, weather reports, and kind support during Scott's adventure to the top of the world!
