George Dunn circa 2009
George Dunn is en route for 499. He and his team of Outdoor Research staff left Paradise yesterday morning and arrived at Camp Muir at roughly 3pm in good form.
After a good nights sleep & a hearty breakfast this morning they’ll hit the slopes outside of Camp Muir for some training and testing of some prototype Outdoor Research gear. After a solid day of training they’ll grab a bite to eat and head to bed pretty early so that the Midnight wake-up call isn’t too painful (it always is!).
If all goes as planned George Dunn will get his 499th summit while his partner Phil Ershler tops out for the 439th time. Check-in tomorrow for an update on their progress!
