Back in Base Camp

Tonya is safely back in Base Camp now and will begin making her way to Kathmandu in the next day or two.  Not sure at this time if she will be taking a chopper ride back to Kathmandu or hiking out.  From the limited communications we've had, it sounds like they had a very long summit push and turned around primarily from the weather, but also experienced oxygen system malfunctions that were quite troubling.  She said their push for the top and return back to BC was the most difficult thing she has ever done.  All of that being said, everyone on the team is now safe and sound at BC and it will be great to hear the whole story from Tonya.
