Summit Update – 9/27/09

The One Revolution crew sent these photos today.. They are preparing for the summit push.  It may be as many as 20 hours of climbing for Chris over the next two days.  If this is the timeline, the group may need to spend the night in a crater, in between Kibo Hut and the summit. Waddell did a satellite phone interview with CBS news, and that will be featured in a piece tonight on the CBS Evening News on the West Coast.

    Chris:

    Colin Dye told me to tell you that he is tired of hearing you talk about this and its about time you “git er done”.

    The sun is just coming up here in Park City; it’s probably late in the day there in Tanzania. Here’s hoping all is well, you’re head is clear and you’re near or on the summit. Happy Birthday! Godspeed! Andy, Lynn, Andrew, Grace & Kate
