Doug Tumminello Takes It To The Top!

Everyone is excited to hear that the last man left standing on Team No Limits, Doug Tumminello, reached the summit at approximately 6:00 AM. Doug and Passang Nuru Sherpa took in the beauty and awe of their success and then began their descent for Camp IV. Cheers for Doug are far reaching. In Base Camp, particularly Roger Coffey, is elated to hear the news - so are Doug's family, friends and team members that are now back at home. While Matt Tredway and Larry Rigsby are now miles away from their friend and team member, they have remained with him in spirit! Doug Tumminello, now a one man show for the team has taken the dream of Team No Limits to the top. We are absolutely thrilled and so thankful!

The weather is reported to be beautiful day - perfect for a summit!

Team No Limits affiliated climber, Will Cross, also reached the summit at 5:20 AM. Will was accompanied by his dynamic duo, Arita and Lhakpa Nuru Sherpas. We are still waiting for word on affiliated climber, Juli. As soon as we are informed of her location we will report back.

What a great day. What a day to be thankful - and what a day to be inspired.
