We got an early start today, leaving camp at 8:15 am headed up loaded with food and fuel to cache around Windy Corner. The weather was beautifully clear and calm and the temps were perfect for climbing. By 11:15 we were at our cache sight at ~13,600'. After digging a deep cache hole to protect our food from hungry ravens, we started off back downhill at 12:25. By 1:15 we were back at camp with plenty of time to rest and relax. The plan is to hit the sack pretty early tonight with the intention of moving our camp up to 14,200', colloquially known as Camp 4. We'll check back to let you know how it goes.

Wow Casey… we find it very interesting how you move your sleep equipment and your cache supplies on different days and move from site to site,

Sounded windy up at 17,000’. Wondering if Windy Corner lived up to its name.
Positive thoughts for all. Excellent adventure. Be safe!
