Guide Matt Park called with the great news that the team moved from 14 Camp to High Camp (17,200′) today. It sounds like the conditions were cold and windy, but the team reached their goal and they were met by two other Mountain Trip teams hunkered down at High Camp. It’s a real morale booster to roll in to camp to bottles of hot water for tea and extra help to dig out camp. Our Mountain Trip “family” really works cooperatively on the mountain. Matt reports the team is nestled in, resting and hydrating for the next big push.

To Julien: Magnifiques photos! P’tain mon salaud si tu te tapes le sommet avec un temps pareil ça va être grandiose! Yann
