Seriously this is so much fun – who knew back seat summiting Everest by proxy would rock so much! Thinking of you all and wishing you a safe summit and smooth return – way to go!
Great news Paul!!!
Neil
If in fact Paul summits within the next hour….and we all hope he does…It would be on the same day and nearly the same time as Fiona did last year. That would make for a great T- Shirt order back in KTM 🙂

Hi Fi
you must be so excited sitting at base camp following this!
It is awesome to have these frequent updates – it’s so exciting. I’ve got my fingers and toes crossed for Paul!

I’m in agony here!!! If I click refresh one more time, my mouse is going to break! This is so exciting – GO PAUL!
Liane
Great news! Thanks for the update! It must be hard for you Fiona to be in base camp and just wait for the radio. We are watching closely and hitting the refresh button. Good luck for a safe summit and return!
Love, Inna & Tim.
This is great news, can hardly get any work done! Chris and I are both glued to our computer screens at work. Also thinking of you Fiona, if I am nervous and excited I can only imagine how you’re feeling!
Following along, riveted to my computer. Last year it was Base Camp Mary giving us constant updates. I remember the news of Fiona : “Summit! Summit! Summit!” How exhilirating that was! And now, anytime, the same cry of success, albeit just 365 days later, will ring true for our brave Paul! Upwards, mate, knock this bugger off!
Blessings and prayers,
Mark R
Don’t know Paul but I am so excited for him!! Hope you hear from him soon!!! I will continue to pray for his safe return!!!

We are friends of “TA”s on Prince Edward Island, Canada and have been following intently Paul and Attila’s progress to the summit as well as imagining Fiona’s patience at BC. We are thinking and praying for all of you with great anticipation! Hang in there!! Tom and Audrey
Also, thanks to Nick for great explanation of weather reports and conditions and for the opportunity to have used this site in following TA’s progress and others!!!!Incredible insites to Everest champions, all!!!
Can’t leave the house now – so close. How terrific for you both.
Thinking of you Fiona down at base camp.
Paul,
Can’t wait to see the photo of you, grinning ear to ear, and not even looking weary!

Paul, the challenge was set, the goal was reached, so smile like we all are, as everest is now yours too! Whilst you could probably job up it again, your next challenge it to arrive home safely, which will put the sweetest cherry on the top of this amazing adventure. Congratulation! ari
