Greg and crew flew onto the mountain and have made great progress ever since. Yesterday marked their arrival at the 14,000 ft. camp with everyone and all their gear. Very nice. The trick, when you have a team this strong, is not to rush. Weather is good and people are strong and it’s so tempting to push. Bad idea. Rest day is the order of business for today with a carry up higher likely on schedule for tomorrow. Weather has been almost too good so a little cooler with even a bit of precipitation is not a terrible thing.
Bottom line is that all is good up on the big hill. And, maybe a visit today to the ‘Edge of the World’.
