2018 Team Summits Ama Dablam!

Sorry for the delay – our team has been very busy the past 36hrs.

Yesterday 11/8 our team reached the summit of Ama Dablam. We will try to post some pictures shortly once we get some better wifi. The climb was amazing, challenging, and worth the reward. After reaching the summit the team descend back to Camp 1.

We are all doing well now and back at basecamp. We hope to fly back to KTM shortly.

Thanks and will update more soon
