Hi Angus, I have been following and enjoying your journey on MyEverest. SO glad to hear when I came home that all had safely reached the goal and most importantly returned to Camp 4. Congratulations! I'll be watching for your summary of the day.

Way to go Angus! What an achievement! I am so happy for you and am glad you made it to Camp 4 safely. Good luck for the trip home!

May 21 BC (home) to C2 (work) 76m - 78m . Time: 4:00pm EST I didn’t have a good sleep last night. I spent most of the night tossing and turning visualizing Angus, Scott, Al and the Sherpas on the move. I Woke up this morning exhausted expecting a new dispatch but none was to be found. I drove to work (drive two blocks, 2 breaths, sip coffee, swear at discourteous driver, repeat.). I immediately sought shelter in my classroom and brought up Angus’ MyEverst.com page. I think my finger is numb from hitting the refresh button about a 1000 times. The day slowly progressed into a curriculum free-for-all as I was either refreshing the browser or nursing my finger. Finally, my sherpa (classroom volunteer) helped to bring things under control while I combed the web for the good news.

Alas, the grand news arrived via Susan that they had made the summit. I was so excited for the whole team that I had to suck A’s (awe - ygen) for 2 hours to control the hyperventilation. I’m not sure that my aweygen regulator is working properly. I am starting to mumble statements that illiterate - things like “An awesome accomplishment Angus”, “Magical moment Murray” or the like. I am getting tired but must make the final push back to BC. Sarah and I will raise a Rye and Ginger to toast your summit .

Wishing you a safe and magical descent.

Love Jeremy, Sarah, Matthew and Natalie

P.S. Another tick on your Seven Summits checklist?

NICE! Congrats and all that stuff. Well done, old boy! Must say I a very pleased to hear you and Scott summitted ... however, was much more pleased and relieved to hear you are in relative safety of camp 4. Will be happier when you are back on Canadian soil - CONGRATS!! Hard work, clear vision, clear goal - ACCOMPLISHED!! Kev

Congratulations from Kary, Jesse, Luke and I!! We can't wait for the stories and the always interesting Murray perspective on this place we haven't been. I accidently woke the kids up when I yelled woohoooooo! at the sight of the posting from Sarah. We wish you well and a safe and enjoyable trip home.
Scott, Kary, Jesse and Luke

Hi Scott,
I spoke with Susan this morning about your climb and I'm thrilled you made it......Congratulations. Must feel great.....we are all thinking of you here at the Estates.....Lynn, Tine, Diane and one of our new members Wendy who was at the Summit presentation this morning and has heard all about you and your climb. Look forward to hearing all about it.
Bernadette

It must have been an amazing feeling to stand on top of the world. I'm sure you are well aware of the Edmund Hillary quote: "It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves." Hopefully this applied in your case as well. All the best and look forward to seeing the pictures upon your return to the school.

Sincerely, Andy Olson
