Friday 4:36 pm local time (7:36 am EST). Chris Warner and Bruce Normand have summited. Don Bowie followed shortly after at 4:42 pm. As of this writing, four Russians (Nikolay Kadoshnikov, Victor Afanasyev, Aleksander Eliseev, and Roman Gubanov) , the one Korean woman and two Sherpas, one Korean man, one Iranian (Kazem Faridian), Daniele Nardi from Italy, and Joao Garcia from Portugal have summited.  With each new summit, applause, cheering and laughter erupt from camps along The Strip. Perhaps one of the most amazing feats was the successful summit of a lone Czech, Libor Uher, by the Cesen Route. More to follow.
