Today has been the longest wait for a phone call. But it finally came through.
I have just spoken to Mark (5.30pm), he is at camp 4 and will be staying there the night (i think because he is exhausted and also because he has no tent at Camp 3 because he burnt it down!!).
He has enough oxygen to stay overnight and Simon and Travis are also on their way down from the summit.
It will be nice for them all to be together and then come down the mountain as a group.
Well done boys and yippeeee they are on their way home. Now I can crack open a bottle (or bottles) of champagne.!!
I will keep you updated as they head down the mountain but a huge personal thanks to friends and family who have tirelessly supported all of us through this (and fed me!!).
It all sunk into Chloe today who was extremely excited by the news but cried after she spoke to her Dad tonight and asked “are you really coming home now Dad”. Yes he really is ……………
