19th Nov - Liam called in to say that all the team (bar one member who turned back at approx 5700m), successfully summited Island Peak yesterday. They had fantastic weather and conditions were absolutely brilliant for their summit day. The group are all feeling great and apart from a few coughs and colds are all in great spirits as they leave Base Camp today; heading for Dingboche. Liam will call in again in a couple of days to report updates.
