Way to go!!
Congratulations - well earned!!
Hearty Congrats
Greetings Scott,
Heard and then read about your feat to ascend the mother of all hills. You must be on top of the world, literally and figuratively.
Best wishes from us lowlanders in BC ... not Base Camp but the British Columbia variant.
Cheers!!
Donan & family
Amazing!
Scott,
One foot in front of the other doesn't get most people the ability to walk to the jet stream. Once again, you've done it higher, better, faster, & stronger than most are capable.
I'm deeply impressed, and wishing you God Speed on a safe return. I know getting up is only half way, but getting down isn't quite the feat as getting up!
We wish you the best, and have a safe journey back to Texas! What an historic day!

Almost there! I hope everyone's health is doing well...be safe, first and foremost!
Wishing you to the top! SPOT doesn't seem to be tracking since you left Camp IV, so we are all following the OnOrbit updates closely.
Keep it going but remember to take care
Thinking of you Scott and willing you to make it safely up and down
