Typical Summit Morning
Talked to Mike Hamill this morning at high camp on Elbrus. Acclimatization is done and team is ready to take a shot at the summit. Big day coming up tomorrow. They’re facing a few thousand vertical feet of continuous cramponing. Forecast is suggesting they’ll have a chance tomorrow. “When the fish are running, it’s time to go fishingâ€. Everyone’s feeling well and is ready to make the attempt. Wish them luck.
