After a long and heavy day, the team made it all the way to 14,000' Camp with a warm greeting from some fellow RMI teams. We’ve settled into camp, retrieving our gear from below during our back carry. Now being fully set up at 14,000', we are taking advantage of the bluebird skies to rest, practice fixed line travel and walk to the Edge of the World for the beautiful views and photo ops.
Life may be colder up at 14,000' as opposed to 11,000', but no one here seems to be complaining. Life is good.

Sarah: What a view! What an adventurous niece! Talked to your Dad this evening and caught up
on his adventurous family. Beautiful weather down here for one day. Wishing you the very best.

Sarah. Of course the summit is the ultimate goal, but the real goal is to enjoy the climb.
We are. Hope you are too. Bob and Pat

You guys are amazing. Sending you all good vibes for good weather for a summit attempt! Sarah, Jazzy doesn’t miss the cats, but she definitely can’t wait to see you. (Although, she IS loving all the extra treats :-D) Love you! Stay safe!
