Nepal 2011 Manaslu, Patty's Report 3

I am very happy to report that Robert and Pasang Gumpa Sherpa  reached the summit of Manaslu at approximately 2 p.m. on October 5 Kathmandu time. The report of  success was posted about three hours ago. Robert does not have access to a sat phone or Internet at this time. The report also said that Robert and his climbing partner, Pasang Gumba Sherpa, have now descended to Camp 2 and would rest there then continue back to base camp in the morning.

I am waiting to hear more details directly from Robert. The altitudejunkies.com web site has a longer narrative if you are interested.

Thanks for all those prayers and for arm chair traveling with me!
Patty
