May at 7.15am local time:

I (John) climbed to the top of the world and summitted Mt Everest at 8850m. I promise to post a full story soon, but I just got back to BC safely a few hours ago after a torturous descent.

I am well and have all my fingers and toes intact. I am tired, stiff, sore, dehydrated, hungry and sleepy.

Every fibre of my body is fatigued and painful, but my mind is dancing.

May at 9.40am local time:

Hi all, breaking news, Robby climbed the highest mountain in the world, and is now on his way back to camp 4.

May: 

Just to let everyone know that Robby is now safely back in BC, exhausted but elated. He has done exceptionally well.

It is now snowing heavily in BC and everything is under thick snow.
