Dang. They’re getting blown out of the summit attempt. After a team meeting, they’ve decided to head on back. The team has made the right choice… and he did make a personal best to 21k’ which is higher than Denali (20,3′), Kilimanjaro (19,3′), Cayambe (18,9′), Elbrus (18,5′), Rainier (14,4′), Guadalupe Peak (8,7′), and Mt. Nebo (2,3′). Hear Rob tell it in his own words.
Day 15: Rest and acclimatization at Camp 2. In anticipation of our summit bid, we stay at Camp 2 resting and acclimatizing before moving higher.* Monday, December 17th, 2012

Oh snap, I knew I should have sent you my Christmas list!
Seriously, congrats on reaching 21k. I’m really glad you’re playing it safe and heading home. I’ll get with Ryan, Keith, Clay & the gang. We’ll start raising funds to send ya back!
Safe travels home.
