At 11,000

The team is at 11,000 feet again tonight.  They were able to carry their loads of food and fuel up to 13,500 yesterday (around Windy Corner) and are in position to move up to the next camp at 14,000.   

Guides Caitlin and Nick brought Michel W. down yesterday.  Unfortunately his feet were causing him too much pain to continue up the mountain.  The guides caught back up to the rest of the team this afternoon, and the whole crew will plan to move to 14,000 tomorrow.

Michel is a friend of ours, and a repeat Mountain Trip climber, so we are particularly sorry to see him leave the trip.
