We moved up to 17 Camp today. In my opinion, this is the second hardest day of the trip, but everyone handled it with style and grace. We had a perfect day moving up the West Buttress, with light winds and spectacular views. We’re all straight chillin in our tents now, eating dinner and snacks. The sun hits this camp until past our bedtime, which keeps us warm for the first few hours of sleep. We’re hoping to try for the summit tomorrow if weather allows, so we’re turning in early. We’ll let you know how we’re doing tomorrow.

We are thinking and praying for you up in the great white north. All is fine below in the not so far north great white north. Trees finally have leaves, still no grass across the street and Jilli is sitting for her exam as I write. All the best to everyone! Much love and remember, it’s the journey!
