Jacob got Sat phone duty tonight, and just called to say that they were all resting up for a summit push tomorrow. Jacob is going to take off with Kevin tomorrow at around 8:30am if the weather holds for them. Giles has a bit of frostnip on a few fingers, and to be safe won't be attempting the summit. Steve is still deciding if he has it in him to push on for this last big day. Everyone is doing alright, but feeling the effects of living at high altitude.
Wish them luck for a safe successful day tomorrow.

Sorry to hear Giles won't be attempting the summit due to his fingers. Steve, go with Kevin, you know you CAN do it. There will always be another time when you can summit with Giles. I am sure he has said you are to go!
ReplyDeleteGood Luck!

Steve you are my inspiration and I am extremely proud of you. I know you have it in you to go further. I am thinking of you and willing you to go on to the summit, so dig deep and go, I am sending you all my energy so you can get to the summit and fulfil your dream. Mr Payne you know, if I was there right now I would be kicking your bum saying you can do it!
I know you are probably thinking of Giles at this time because you both wanted to reach the summit but I am sure Giles would want you to make that finally push.
Go for it!!
Love you lots

Giles, keep those fingers warm and safe.

ReplyDeleteVery sorry to hear about Giles but we are so proud of your achievement so far and know you have it in you to reach the summit. All those at home are willing you on, so dig deep, put your head down and go for it. Don't forget you are doing it for Bill as well, so I'm sure you will find the strength for that final push, when you need it. Fulfill your dream and keep in mind the feelings you will have when you reach that summit!!!!
So just go for it.
Loads of love

Hello Giles,
ReplyDeleteDon't doubt for a second getting as far as you have is anything but amazing! Something very very few people can ever claim. Keep those fingers warm and can not wait to celebrate your return!
Lots of love, t xx
Kevin,
ReplyDeleteJust one more big push...we know you can do as you are one determined kid!
Say a prayer for Bill when you reach the summit.
With luck maybe we'll see you as we fly over later today.
love mom & dad
Steve, you have already achieved so much and I am so proud to call you my brother. Take a deep breath and go for it. Remember how often we were told as kids "you won't know unless you try"!! I tell Jess and Tom that now, so go on, give it your all and find your inner strength. YOU CAN DO IT!
