Elevation: 14,200'

We did our “back-carry” today. Our cache above Windy Corner only took about twenty minutes to walk down to and an hour or so to walk back with. So we got that done in the mid morning hours before the sun got too intense. Much of this first full day at 14,200' was a rest day. We did a short training session in the afternoon to review techniques we’ll use on the fixed ropes protecting the steep terrain between 15,000 and 16,200 ft. The weather was even better today than yesterday… calm and sunny throughout. Tomorrow we are hoping to carry supplies up onto the West Buttress.
Jim says, “HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, SHARON!!”
Best Regards

Jim,
It looks like your team is doing fine. I wish I was 15 years younger so I could do it too.
Good luck,
