Anders and Brent safe and sound in Kathmandu!

Just had a long Face Time Audio with Anders and heard a lot of the amazing details--we'll figure out with Anders how best to share the very, very amazing story of their day.

One piece of info we learned is that Anders had the Summit to himself--he stayed there for about 7 minutes and he was completely alone the whole time.  He ended up taking 3 selfies to document (he also has some video which he'll probably grab screen shots from).  Here are the selfies:




You can see him changing his gloves because his hands were so cold...

We heard more about the two rescue attempts as well.  What the four of them did was pretty heroic.  Well it was heroic for sure.  I'm not sure what the appropriate social media protocol for something like this is, so at least for the moment I'm going to refrain from posting any details.  I'd like to discuss further with Brent and Anders....

Anyways, I'm sure we'll be posting a bunch more info and pictures over the next week or so....

Anders flys home tomorrow!  We are beyond excited.  Its still hard to wrap our heads around the fact that our son climbed Everest.....

Holy smokes! Are these selfies when he had no supplemental oxygen? That's incredible......how in the hell did he get up there with no oxygen?? He's a superhero!

Way to go Anders!
