Watching the Wind Blow

We just heard from the team at 14,000 feet. They are packed and ready to head up to high camp at 17,000 feet, but the winds are still blowing 30-40mph on the ridge that they will be climbing from 16,000 - 17,000. They will watch for any improvement in the weather, and if they get a chance they may still move up this afternoon. We will update if we hear anything new.

Hope the wind died down a bit. I'm sure everyone is anxious. Spence is practicing his "mountain" climbing on nearly everything so that he can say he's climbing with Daddy. Good luck! Sarah and Spence

Hoping to hear news that the Team is in high camp by now! We are all rooting for a summit in the next few days here on the low ground.

Good luck to all the climbers and may the Force with you Mountain Trip Guides!
