Tim Rippel's Facebook page reports that Lucille successfully summited at 06:00. We will update more when we hear more.

11:30 Nepal Time - Lucille is now below the balcony out of the wind and is very tired. Just a bit more to go then she can crawl inside her tent, get hydrated and some much needed rest.

Thank you Ted for the update, was starting to really get uncomfortable as we haven't seen anything with SPOT. I sort of thought maybe it was battery issues as well, or that she is just focusing on climbing and not concerned with pushing her button! I am praying for them all to get back and make the call. Thanks again....Dea
Thanks for the update Ted, patiently refreshing the page every two seconds ;)

Lucille I could hardly concentrate for my exam todAY and have been glued to the computer as much as possible. WAY TO GO !! now come back down carefully so we can all hug you whenever we see you. Love Annette
Lucille, I read and find your friends faithful. you had over 1,000 clicks to-day for your blog.
Also recongnized several de Beaudrap. Anyone of them can run for politics, the name is already known.
I am so overwelmed by your success, I am lost for words.
I did phone Salmon Arm and White Rock, BC (not base camp) and Aunt B cannot believe what you can do.
At 10:00 I went to thank the Lord in an hour adoration.
The security downstairs said, you seem proud of your daughter, "you bet I am"
I hope you have a good-night sleep sometime for it's only noon at at Nepal.
More than the very best,
Mom
Just have to add, what a brilliant strategy - beat the crowds, beat the weather and take in a May sunrise from the very top of the world.
Tremendous
Miles
Well done, Lucille. It's been real exciting for us here, somewhat like listening to the moon landing on the radio. Congratulations on entering one of the most exclusive fraternities around.
Simply amazing - that's all I can say. My eyes well up with tears every time I think of you summiting. We knew you could do it!!! Big hugs - enjoy your much needed rest. You are much loved Lucille!!!
Lucille we are so proud of you and Dom. You are an inspiration to all of us. Hoping the summit brought that excitement that children feel during success, and as adults we often forget. Amber and Kristjanna are cheering for your safe return! I was not born when we walked on the moon....bless you for making a never forgettable moment for so many.
Love and safe return- the JHAK Gogan
Lucille, Lucille, Lucille. . .how appropriate I was in church at my niece's graduation when you were at the summit-said a prayer and kept my phone on vibrate to keep updated! You know whose name came up during the program?? Father Troy and I smiled and thought of you. Safe journey down the mountain . .now I need a kleenex! Way to go girl!!!
Awesome, Lucille!!! Congratulations! This is cooler than cool!
Lucille, Rick and I have been following you every step of the way. Yesterday my whole office and part of Rick's was following your progress, and we were so happy when Ted posted your summit news!
Congrats for pursuing your dream, and achieving it!
Now it's time to focus on coming home safely, with the glow of a goal achieved in your heart!
Love you

Fantastic journey Lucille, your blog has been the highlight of my day since you touched down in Kathmandu 5 weeks ago! I am on cloud 9 just thinking of what you have accomplished, so cant begin to imagine what you must be starting to feel now that you have had a little time to think about what you have really done. Have a safe return and I look forward to seeing pictures and hearing the stories of your adventure.
