High Camp!

The crew was able to move up to high camp in beautiful weather yesterday in spite of a day that was forecasted to be windy.   I talked to Dave Ahrens this evening, and they were just finishing up dinner and everyone was feeling strong.  Often a couple of extra days waiting at 14,000 really pays off when moving to 17,000 by being a bit more acclimated.  They don't have a great weather forecast for the next couple of days, but hope to get a shot at the summit starting as soon as tomorrow. 

Wish then luck.

Hello Nick and the crew,
Loved the call from 17,000 last night! May the midnight sherpas be with all of you on your ascent to the Northern top of the world.
