This is for John Newland. Climb your butt off you can do it. Show those kids you can be on Medicare and still climb.

“Cool”????? Billy, you are the MASTER of understatement, haha!
I’m so sorry that I couldn’t hang with you to the summit, but I very thankful to you for keeping us all safe. You are a true professional, and I have the utmost respect for you, Katrina, Blake and the entire RMI team.

Things started to turn nicer up on our big hill. The snow and clouds blew out today, winds quieted, and we spent the day addressing logistical hurdles. The first was that we found out last night that the downline of the fixed lines hadn’t been freed of its icy tomb, so there was a rope going up but not down- recipe for a traffic jam. We made a plan with teams from AMS to send a couple of guides from each team up to sledge hammer out the lines. Accordingly that meant we couldn’t go for a carry as a team. Additionally another guided team needed a guide loan to get their back carry in. So, Nick helped another team with their carry, got back in time for Ben and Pete to head uphill, then Nick took the group to the Edge of the World to look down on the lower Kahiltna Glacier and our first camp at Ski Hill. We were all reunited this evening over a tortellini dinner, and we’ll assess whether to get our carry in tomorrow!
Full team day.
RMI Guides Pete, Nick, Ben, and team
