This just in...
Jim called his wife, Hlee, from the summit of Everest at 8 a.m. (summit time, 8 p.m Mountain Time in the States), to say, "We're at the summit. We made it!"
Hlee asked that I post this on Jim's behalf. That's all the information we have now.
Jim, congratulations! In fact, congratulations to the entire team whom we have come to know through your blog and videos. We are sending good wishes for your safe descent and return home.
Well done,
Ken
