Final note from Dave...

Well, we are all back in Anchorage now, the tents are dry and the last bites of cheese have been tossed in the trash. This trip was difficult in many ways yet very rewarding and inspiring in others. After Bills incident I cut his knot out of the rope and we carried it to the summit in his honor, a tradition I hope to never due again.
This group was great from the get go and everyone had a wonderful attitude despite long storm days and the long hike out. I would like to specifically give my condolences to Bills family and let them know I am here if they ever want to talk or need anything from me.
Thanks to everyone for there posts and positive vibes throughout the expedition. I hope every one has a great summer and takes advantage of every chance they have to live life to the fullest. Life is fragile indeed and no one is promised tomorrow, so tell your family and friends you love them and LIVE! keep on climbing!

Dave
