CTSS on the summit of Mt. Everest
Safely Back to Camp 2
CTSS lead Everest guide Josh McDowell reported that all 26 climbers that summited on May 13th are now safely back to Camp 2 following their successful summit. McDowell confirmed:
“The entire summit team is now safely back to Camp 2. It was a huge day, nearly 24 hours on the move, but they elected to drop down to move off the windy South Col and sleep better. They will likely be back in Everest Base Camp tomorrow to celebrate and rest. The second half of our team is patient and strategic, looking for the best summit window for their bids.”
