We are back at our 11k camp after a very successful day of carrying and caching gear at 13,200. What had been a pretty busy camp now feels like a ghost town, as most teams in camp got an early start this morning to move to 14,000. We also had a decently early start to try to beat the heat, and by 1 pm, we were back in camp snacking and napping. We'll be a day behind the main pack; everyone did excellently today, and so the plan is to move ourselves to 14k tomorrow! That will put us in great position, and one step closer to our goal. Best to everyone back home.
Cheers,
RMI Guides Pete, Geoff, Robby, and the gang

Good morning, Tommy! It’s great to hear from your team and know you are well. I’m happy to hear the weather is still cooperating, and you’re making good progress. We’re having a heat wave here, at the moment. I feel like I’m in Texas! You know it must be hot for me to say that! Haha! Sara, Brandon, and I miss you and send lots of love your way. Stay strong and know we are so proud of you! I am in awe of your passion for life, your grateful spirit, and your desire to live your dream life! You are the strongest person I know! My love and prayers are with you every step to the top and back. Have an awesome day!!!!
