For a complete update see this XC article with the latest info.  It clears up the timeline and shows the complete lack of intent by these two pilots to flaunt the laws of the area. http://www.xcmag.com/2011/03/himalayan-odyssey-pair-bailed/.

And here is the latest from the HO team blog - http://himalayanodyssey.org/blog/?p=569
