CONGRATULATIONS to the beards!
at 7.20am this morning (31st May) Tony Wade posted a message...
" Have just had a call from Ian, they summited 30/05/05 at 0728, all are well and resting at ABC for 2 days.
CONGRATULATIONS to them all, the beards have been there!! Well done the Old Folks."
At last, proper news... Fantastic news… I know the Holmes's were extremely relieved, as I'm sure everyone else was to hear the news.
Before seeing Tony’s comment, I had just found the following on one of the American News sites:
"Update May 30th, 2005: many climbers think the British might have summited last night. So far no news... Except one British climber was seen coming down last night that attempted without oxygen. We are unsure if he was even on this team! More soon.. The Indian Air Force and the Russians summited on the 30th.."
A bit vague - I'm much happier that the news came from Ian. Hopefully there will be more calls today.
