What ? You don't believe they really made it to the top!!

This isn't like the film Capricorn 1, Here are the pictures of the team at the summit. Oh, and despite having topped £11,000 they would really like to make it a little bit more so if you haven't yet had the chance to sponsor them, or if you feel they deserve a bit more for this magnificent effort now is the time.

Any way on with the piccies:

 Here they are  - the group and guide

Here is  Paul suitably obscuring Richards  face from view, and finally

  Paul and Richard  at  Sunrise, only you  can see Richards  face this  time!

Just when you thought it was safe......

Paul has  finally  finished emptying his dirty sicks and other  unmentionables from his ruck sack.  In amongst all this was a roll of film that he has  got  developed.  The results are really quite  scary - you have  been warned:

Everyone at the top of the Petit Fourche (3520m) -- Paul notes he is holding tightly and hating every minute!

Looking back on hte Aiguille de Tour, Second Peak in the training regime at 3,544m, taken during the descent back down the valley on day 3

and finally  ......
The famous snoring brothers…….ear defenders totally failed on all counts. The Frenchman staying in dormitory was so impressed he videoed the softly sleeping Crossers at one point…..! Please take note of the commitment being shown on all our parts….water only all week (almost!)

Who has been watching

So who  has  been following this expedition?

According to  our  map  people  have logged in from across the  world - see  below for a snapshot of viewers

Agriascent and Europe

Message  just in from the airport - apparently the  Mountain was the simple task, Alastair  has  had to  donate  his  bounty in the  shape of a rather  fine  bottle of Sancerre to the  Geneva  police as  it  didn't meet the requirements  of carrying liquids on a plane   (Me I would  just  have  drunk it, problem solved - Ed).  However did they  manage with a  mountain?

From that we  can take it they are on their way  back.

Now is the  time to remember to Donate  Some  Cash to the  Agriascent Charity  Project!

The Team Debrief

The  debrief looks to  have  been a serious affair - expect  more tails from the team later:

They've done it! Telegram confirms

Alastairs telegram today announces that Paul, Jonny, Richard, and Andrew  were successful in reaching the summit earlier today. As Alastair says  they are  total Legends - Even though they can't  hear us we should give them all a  big cheer, they are  All Legends.

Here is picture  taken this  morning of the  challenge they  faced,  Well done Guys.

Carrier pigeon brings news
