(2/10) I also carried up this flag made by pupils from my old school Friends School Lisburn @FSLprep
(3/10) It is a pleasure to share this summit anniversary @mick_odwyer and Dr Jeremy Windsor.
(4/10) It was also a pleasure to climb with my old friend @nigelhart the person credited with starting the @everestinamonth challenge!
(5/10) I also became the first climber to hold up the Ivory Coast Flag on the summit.

(6/10) I couldn't have done any of it without the support of the entire @XtremeEverest team, in particular the leader @mike_grocott and this guy Dawa Tenzing Sherpa who carried 5 of the 6 Oxygen bottles we had that day.
(7/10) None of us could have done it without the support of our amazing sherpas
(8/10) and of course special mention for Spud who came all the way to the top!
(9/10) The Nepalese say that:
"your summit is at base camp"
and of course when your at the top, you are actually only half way there.
It's a long way down.
Can you see our tents at camp IV in this pic?
