IMG Everest Update #45 May 19, 2009
Eric Simonson just phoned in from Everest to let us know that our first summit team has successfully reached the summit and is now on their way down. They got an early start and most of them summitted between 4 and 4:30am, just as dawn was breaking over the Himalayas.
Summiters include three members of our awesome Singapore women’s team, Jane, Li Hui, and Esther. US Astronaut and medical scientist Scott Parazynski reached the top along with Dawes Eddy, a remarkable athlete from Spokane, Washington. We believe Dawes has just become the oldest American to ever reach the summit of Everest. [More at IMG]
