On Monday, May 26, 2008, we received this dispatch from Ueli Steck's office in Switzerland:
"Ueli and Simon started today their way back to Kathmandu. Both are tired and happy to go back home as soon as possible. After this tremendous effort, they would need at least a couple of days to get physically and mentally fully recovered in order to go for another attempt for Annapurna South face. Also, the monsoon season starts very soon, that's why they decided not to try once more an attempt on Annapurna South Face. We are all happy that both are doing fine and hopefully they might get another chance to go for this project sometime in the future."
Ueli and Simon were both involved in the rescue effort on Annapurna. It was a physically and emotionally taxing endeavor, and we are grateful for their safe return.
