Lhotse Summit

At 7 am Nepali time Brian reached the summit of Mt Lhotse!!!!  From his high camp, the push was 8 hours round trip.  (6 up to the summit and 2 back)  Amazingly enough he descended a total of 11,000 feet and called with the good news from Base Camp.  After celebrating with a hot meal and a good night of sleep; Brian is headed down to Namche Tuesday morning.  Hopefully we’ll have some photos to share in the next day or so.  Thanks so much for your support!
