The winds trailed off during the night -at our level, at least- but we got steady snow for most of the day. We sat in place at 14,200 ft. With the continued poor forecast, we are now just looking for a reasonable break in the storms to start moving downward. While it is a tough thing to give up our summit dreams for 2021, it is at least something of an easy call… the mountain simply has not given us an opening. We are still in an amazingly beautiful place, which we remember each time the clouds thin. And we have still got plenty of mountain climbing -albeit of the downward variety- to do before we’re done.
Best Regards,

Get down safe, team! Tell Matt it’s 107 at home, so he won’t have to worry about being cold. First beer back is on me.

Thinking of the team all the way from New Jersey. Have a safe and uneventful descent. Staying strong Dom!

From here where I sit in a heat wave in Milton, MA your arctic conditions look amazing. I hope you find that window soon, though, so that you can begin a safe descent. Thank you for the photos and blog allowing us to vicariously experience your journey.
