Namaste friends, family and loved ones!

Weather and logistics finally cooperated and we were able to break free of Lukla. We loaded the team and all their bags on a helicopter, and I jumped onto a fix wing plane. We made it back to Kathmandu in time for dinner and departing flights.

Alls well that ends well! It has been a great trek with a wonderful team of friends. I am looking forward to climbing with everyone in the future. Thank you for following our progress in the high Himalayas.

All our best,Vern Tejas and the Cheese Balls!
