The Manaslu team are bugging out and going home ... Speaking to Guy yesterday, they weren't sure if they would be getting a helicopter back from Samagown or walking back. But either way, they're packed up and on their way home. Safe, sound, exhausted, and looking forward to getting back to civilisation.
I don't think the reality of their achievement has kicked in yet, but I'm sure a hot shower, good food, and sleep will bring it all home - and before they know it they'll be celebrating in true Kathmandu style with enormous steaks, large beers, and really good coffee and cake in Helenas.
Enjoy the party guys, and can't wait to see you!
