Take a deep breath here we go…
On the DC Route (currently the Ingraham Direct), Dallas Glass and his team summited this morning and are now back down in Ashford. Taking their place on the mountain is Luke Reilly and his team. They’re up at Camp Muir doing well with a plan of moving to the Ingraham Flats tomorrow.
On the Kautz, Jonathan Schrock and Co. summited a little while after Dallas. After the earned handshakes & photos on the summit, they descended back down to their high camp near Camp Hazard (10,000ft), where they’ll have dinner and hit the sack pretty early. A few hours downhill to the van tomorrow is their next objective.
On Liberty Ridge, Peter Dale and Max Lurie are on day two of the climb and at are tucked in at Thumb Rock. If conditions are right tomorrow morning they’ll ascend Liberty Ridge to Liberty Cap and then on up to the summit, Columbia Crest. From the summit they’ll descend to either Camp Muir or Camp Schurman.
And on the Emmons Route, is Anna Hicks and her team. They’re safely at their first camp on the Inter Glacier. Tomorrow they’ll move up to Camp Schurman and rest up for their summit day (Thursday). Along for the climb is IMG Partner Eric Simonson and his daughter Audrey.
And as an added bonus this week we have some guides going up onto the Disappointment Cleaver to do some prep work for the eventual transition off of the Ingraham Direct onto the cleaver. Mix in some helicopter resupply flights and that’s enough for this week!
