Ulrike and Harry safely back in ABC. . . .

[Jenny Paterson]

  Hi
Message received today:  Sent 14h10 their time . . ..

"Ulrike and Harry are safe down in ABC, no real summit attempt, though weather is perfect now.  Tomorrow many loads to carries to cache and base camp.  Ulrike and Ian wil take down fixed rope.  Love to all ". . .

Disappointing that the good weather window just isn't sufficient for our Team to summit. . . but then, we would rather have them back here safe and sound.

The drama on K2 continues . . .  a rescue team safely reached Camp 2 today, and they plan on moving up to Camp 3 to see whether the 2 missing climbers actually got there or not. . . .  we pray for their safety, but it has been several days since they radioed BC to say that they were moving down from Camp 4. . .

More news as and when it is available. . . in the meantime our Team has a lot of work to do before Monday 9th. . . .   Come back safely  . . . . .
