These last two teams are really cruising up the mountain! Teams 5 and 6 are moving together now, and both taking a rest day after caching at 17K Camp. They expect to take their next step tomorrow, which will put them up at 17K Camp, and in position to attempt the summit as soon as the time is right. The clouds are sitting at 11K right now, and are predicted to stay there for the next few days, so things are looking clear and gorgeous on the upper mountain!
