Hey there, Brad Washburn, Science Museum of Boston. I just want to report that the team is all off the mountain. We have now got four days of GPS equipment working right on the top. [editor's note: expedition leader Wally Berg tells us his friend and former climbing partner, Dorje Sherpa, retrieved the Trimble 4800 from Bishop's rock and returned it to base camp.] Wally Berg, Mencin, and that gear will be in Kathmandu probably tomorrow night.

So the field operations of the trip are over, and we're now going to begin to produce a final report of all we've done.
