Anyone got any info on how Lee and Jake are getting along?

According to their last weblog entry, they've (potentially) been on the wall for quite some time...

You could try Amanda on her Facebook page. I doubt they would have much communication up there, though they maybe carrying a sat phone.

Be patient, grasshopper :-) Big wall, bad weather, no comms. Keep checking the blog, no-one knows any more

Same question: Anyone got any news on the guys. The blog's still carrying the December 30 entry.

That's quite a while ago.

And again, same reply. Be patient, grasshopper. They fly out middle of next week for home. No-one's heard anything still, not partners or parents.
Bet they're having a great time :-)

From Jake's Facebook...

"Jake Bresnehan chillen and killen in southern Patagonia... posted 36 minutes ago."

I take it that means they are back in civilization then!

They spent 15 days on the wall, 9 on which were in a bad storm. Did they top out? I guess you'll have to wait for Amanda's blog update! :P

This is a great blog. I am really looking forward to the next installment to see how it all finishes up.

But don't you just love the web? One second you can be sharing a porta-ledge with Jake and Lee half-way up some horrendous cliff in Patagonia and next second you can be surfing for porn.

I just managed to concentrate long enough despite these crazy pain killers I'm on and finished the last
chapter of Jake's and my blog.
Hope it has been of interest to some of you, it has been good fun reliving it.

Great read, good work, look at the mountain photo thread and forget about your feat.
