If this summit fails, there really is no way back.

We have seen four years of wrangling without anything happening. They are stuck in quicksand, and if they don't get out by December the round will collapse.

If we can get fifth or sixth we'll be doing well. There's no way we'll beat Aspen, Summit or Vail Mountain School, but if we can stay ahead of Battle Mountain, that'll be great. For a bunch of kids who train for two-and-a-half months out of the year, they do great, and I'm real proud of them.

How could they find no wrongdoing?

This summit is very politicized,
