The rest of the team made it to Talkeetna tonight, as the weather has finally improved slightly. Unfortunately a couple of guys who were already out changed their flights and have already left for the airport, so they won't get to have a final dinner and goodbye with the team.
It's always hard not to reach the summit, but it's a part of climbing big mountains that we don't have control of. Hopefully all of the climbers can look back fondly on their memories and feel good about working hard and making some friends along the way.
It's good to see the crew back down safely (with just a few bit's of frostbite on the cheeks) . The mountain lived up to it's reputation for the last few weeks of being a gnarly, cold place.
