Back Down to the Balcony

Via Satellite Phone - LISTEN IN!

Yeah this is Dave with my team safely back down at the Balcony, at 27,500, and out of the winds, out of the summit dangers, we are just going to waltz down the 1500 feet of the Triangular Face and get back to camp. Oh man, it’s 10:14 in the morning, the days are just packed, things are great . . . . light snow down here, but no wind with it, so it’s not bothering us, and man our Sherpa team did a an incredible job, of course we couldn’t have done it without them, Tendi Sherpa managed the whole thing and worked like a wild man, but our whole team, we had six incredibly good climbing Sherpas up there who made sure we got up, wonderful.
