Dave, We’re waiting for summer to start, but our chilly 62 degrees must sound balmy to you. Think summer thoughts. Stay safe…

Well,here I am again… 2 blogs in one day.. But I have actually checked for updates about 10 times today! Mom Frank, I just read your message to me, and needed to immediately respond. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! You can’t imagine how much your words of encouragement mean to me! John has great respect for the guides and their expertise. He has reassured me numerous times that they are very skilled and safety minded. However, no one but another Mom could ever understand or imagine just how much we worry about our children… Be they big or small! You made me feel so much better!!!! I will try to relax! THANK YOU!

Praying for safety as you head for the high country. It sounds like you have an awesome team! I don’t normally comment on the blog but it has been fun watching the Stenderup family follow this trip. I just couldn’t resist sending Mom Stenderup some encouragement. Mom Stenderup - I remember the first time my,as you put it, “baby boy” headed up this 20,000+ mountain. I checked the blog what seemed like a million times a day for 26 days. Now I am watching this climb with a little different perspective. You see my “baby boy” has grown into the young man who is the senior guide leading this expedition. From one mountain climber’s mom to another… it’s OK to relax a bit, breathe and enjoy the journey. Your boys are in good hands. Eric and Geoff are both incredibly skilled, smart, mountain savvy, safety conscious, Senior RMI Guides. They are good at what they do. So be encouraged. Like you, I will continue to pray for the team’s safety. GO TEAM! Summit this mountain with style. Mom Frank

Congratulations Team !!
You’re moving up the mountain like a well oiled machine. I think 14k may be my favorite camp up there.
Tyler, Garrett - Don’t know where you’ll be in September but I’m signed up on the Sept. 19th, 4 day climb at Rainier.

Good work gentlemen!
John, your fantasy baseball team is doing phenominal, the first goal of the world cup was an own-goal, and I left a basball game in the middle of the 14th inning only to hear the fireworks of a walk-off homer in the parking lot. Stay safe-ish, take lots of photos, and enjoy your time on the mountian.
