Just received this audio message from Ben. He and Josh are safe, having made the decision to turn around and not climb to the summit. They are heading down the hill and will soon be in the comfortable surroundings of Base Camp.

These guys are the smartest type of climbers.

Tim and Josh orgainizing gear over lunch. 

The scene at basecamp, that’s a sliver of Annapurna IV poking through the clouds.

Tim and Josh stare at an avalanche thundering down the North face of Annapurna IV.  During a brief 5 minute period of sun, the team saw 3 avalanches.

Ben Clark making turns and hanging on in a gully full of hard snow and debris for a first descent.
