Bianca has messaged to say that she’s back at camp 4 now.
She said she feels pretty bad though.
On the summit and climbing up, I felt amazing, but coming down is tough. I felt like i needed to be so much more cautious and it was a lot of work clipping around people. Also the part from the South Summit to the summit is really technical at parts – much more than the rocks before the South Summit. There were a dozen or so people there at that time so it was pretty tough getting around them whilst staying clipped in.
She is now resting at camp 4, but planning to start climbing down to camp 2 later.

One step at a time, slow and considered step by step. Your Dad will be there and hopefully with a stash of all your favourite treats. You should be beyond proud of yourself Bianca. Your inner strength has certain shone through. I can’t wait to share your news with Ruvi tonight, you are my little girls inspiration, as you are to tens of thousands of people. Keep moving safely
What was I doing with my life at 18? Certainly didn’t achieve such a feat!
Never felt prouder to be an Australian Woman. Congratulation Bianca! It has been a treat to follow along your Journey. Wishing you a safe trek back to Aus.
Congratulations from Amsterdam!!!!
I’ve loved following the journey… I was on a plane this morning and as soon as I got off I checked the tracker… such an epic experience well done. Inspirational!
Congratulations Bianca – Aussie Aussie Aussie!
Woo hoo! You’ve got this, Bianca! The world is watching in awe. I know you’ll stay strong and trust your instincts, training, experience, equipment, the mountain, and the experts on your team.

It was tough, but not as tough as you! Take your time, you did it! We are all so very proud of you! I can’t wait to see the pictures of your reunion with your amazing Dad and Mom. Rest up! Wow! 🎉🙏
Rest up and safe journey back!
You are AMAZING!! But you know that!!
It’s been tough and now it’s still very tough on the descent apparently…but you have an amazing capacity to handle it. Truly inspirational.
🏆👑 BAD ASS Bianca!!!
Congratulations Bianca! You should be very proud of yourself – such a great achievement and an inspiration to so many. I remember following your parents when they did their climbs – the never give up gene runs deep! Best wishes for a safe return to base camp and home and enjoy hanging out with your mates.
YAYAYAYAYY Bianca. We are so so so so proud of you and your achievment. You inspire us every single day, I hope you know everyone has been coming in to class talking about how cool you are because oh my god you are. We love you. Be safe, and we are so so excited to see you at home again. Love from Josephine, Nicole + Amara
Congratulations Bianca. You climb smart. Getting to the summit at 3 am before the crowds was a smart move.
I hope everything is ok, your Garmin says your in Katmandu – hopefully it’s just faulty!
Well done Bianca!
Hopefully we get an update soon, as I see you’re in Kathmandu, I hope everything is ok.
Sending warmth and well wishes from Perth 🌿
Please, please, please, update.
Where is Bianca?
She is okay?

At least her Instagram is updating, and the tracker shows her location in Kathmandu. I suspect she’s currently undergoing a bit of a “recovery period”; after all, reaching the summit wasn’t easy for her.
There is some strange posturing here; one minute you are supportive, the next you are criticising her for not thanking her Sherpa, next minute begging for updates. I hope you are OK!
Anyway, such good news re her summit. I’m sure everyone wishing her well and good recovery 🥰
