| I just read Johnny's blog. He is going to try to summit in the next day or so. How exciting! I hope he makes it to the top. |

Ed Viesturs has summited returned to camp 4, spent the night, and now on the way down.
Another blog covering Viesturs. He said it was quite the botle neck in his blogs. Imagine Johnny and Apa were in that bottle neck. Their blogs haven't updated but that is probley because Ed has money behind him to have the base camp update this for him.

| So freaking awesome! I am not sure why but I was really worrying about Johnny. I wanted him to make the summit. So relieved that he did. He was even on the news last night. |
