Hels said...: Thomas and Simon took a flightseeing trip with k2 from Talkeetna today. Tom said he saw you. Pretty sure he is lying. Being here really brings home what am amazing climb you are doing. I met an italien team who had just flown back, "awesome" was all they could say. Keep on going guys. Hope the beard is the only thing freezing!

Ps Scotland beat USA at rugby and the football World Cup starts tomorrow!; June 11, 2014 at 9:50 PM
