Hi Everyone - IMG just reported Bob and Karma made it up the "South Summit" at 28,300 (just shy of the 29,035 summit) and are now headed back down to the South Col 26,300 at camp IV. Way to go Bob! Wish I was there with you!
Still a long way to go to get back down, so let's keep up with our good wishes and support.
