The Jones’ are safely back at BC making the tough decision to abandon the summit this time given the weather and play it conservatively and use the clear day yesterday to come safely down to Vinson Base Camp… They’ve had an amazing adventure and are in high spirits. Tomorrow they are likely to fly out on the Twin Otters back to the hot showers at Union Glacier and back to Chile from there.

Meanwhile our Team Climbers have arrived in Punta Arenas, they’ve done their gear checks and will be checking their bags in to the flight service in the morning, ready for a flight possibly tomorrow down onto the ice. A few of the crew went and checked out Patagonia today and had a great time.

Best wishes,
CTSS Team
