Now that things have died down somewhat here in Kathmandu, I’d
like to take this opportunity to do a dispatch to all who have followed
us on our expedition. I’m sure I’m speaking on behalf of all
the lads in saying a huge thank you to all who have supported and followed
us on the mountain. Your messages of goodwill and encouragement certainly
gave us all a big lift.
I would also ask our webmaster Holly Boelter to put my thank you to
her in this dispatch, because I personally want to say a big THANKS for
the large amounts of effort she has put in over the previous two months
to keep my family informed of events taking place on the mountain. I am
again sure that the rest of the team (if here) would join me in my praise.
 Your
correspondant in Kathmandu,
