Well it's all over but the safe descent and the party in Base Camp. Everybody that, except Al, started out from high camp, summitted Mount Everest today in good form.

We had very benign weather and actually still do. And I would really like to, personally on the air, again thank all of our Sherpa staff for the superb job that they've done in making this a safe, successful expedition.

Now I'm out of here.
