I think either Kelly or her SPOT was drunk for the last 300 feet, but hey, in the end they found the highest point. More importantly, they made it safely back to 17,200' camp. Congrats to the whole team. Ryan sure is racking up these big summits, can't help but wonder what's next.
“There are two kinds of climbers: those who climb because their heart sings when they’re in the mountains, and all the rest.” - Alex Lowe
"There have been joys too great to describe in words, and there have been griefs upon which I cannot dare to dwell; and with those in mind I say, 'Climb if you will, but remember that courage and strength are nought without prudence, and that a momentary negligence may destroy the happiness of a lifetime. Do nothing in haste, look well to each step, and from the beginning think what may be the end.'" - Edward Whymper

Congrats to Team OMG!
I too was pretty unproductive last night trying to follow their progress. Here's to a safe return home, looking forward to hearing some of the first-hand accounts of the trip.
