Were back from our biggest day so far on this expedition. The train is very much on the track as we moved efficiently with perfect weather. The cold, crisp, and breathless air provided a flawless day. Not to mention the the rockstar crew we are climbing with - smooth operators.
The route conditions from 11,200 - 14,200 ft camp are groomer. The views of the surrounding ridges, peaks, glaciers and distant rivers are proof we came to one of the most inspiring corners of the world. Now that we're back to camp, we will spend the afternoon chilling with our groceries and hydrating in hopes the splendid weather will continue. Tomorrow we look to move up to 14,200 ft camp and will keep you all in the loop as to our progress.
Cheers,

Michael Adams - WOW. Soak in the beauty. We missed you opening the 2016 surfing season! Water temp is great. Looking forward to hearing the lessons and insights that your adventure must bring. From the pics it looks like harsh beauty with solitude softened by camaraderie and a shared mission - enjoy. Here’s to you and your team! Tom Roberts.

Looks like a beautiful climb and weather is on your side. Good Luck to all. Looking forward to watching the summit. Thinking about all of you here in Boulder as the sun shines and we wear shorts. Stay safe.

That’s so exciting! Congrats on such a productive day yesterday! Those backpacks look heavy and that looks like a wall of snow at either side of your path! I’m so impressed—smooth operators! (btw smooth operators is a very good song by Sade if anyone knows it.)
I hope you have great conditions to move to camp 14 today!
Ongun I am your cheerleader back in NYC. Can I use this picture to brag about you :)? lol
Sending all my best wishes and good luck on the day ahead.
