IMG Senior Guide Justin Merle called in this afternoon from Thumb Rock (~11,000ft.) reporting all is well. He, along with fellow Senior Guide Austin Shannon, and their team, are now in position to climb Liberty Ridge. They’ll get a relatively early start tomorrow, and if all goes as planned, they’ll summit and likely descend the DC route to the Ingraham Flats or Camp Muir.
More tomorrow.
