Randy might win the dispatch of the season, with his highly detailed call from 14,200 feet, the site of Camp 3 on the West Buttress route!
The team awoke to 10 inches of fresh snow, but the weather was calm, so they packed up their camp at 11,000 feet and began the climb up the moderately steep “Motorcycle Hill” (please hear Randy’s take on the name), which rises up immediately out of camp. The team had a very nice day as they wondered about the naming of “Windy Corner,” a prominent feature on the West Buttress route, which was dead calm today. Arriving in Camp 3, they spent some time fortifying their camp and are tucked in for the evening.
Many thanks, Randy, for such a detailed dispatch!

You sound fantastic!! Does your multi-national crew get the Tyson-Douglas references? They may all be too young to remember that! Keep sticking to the plan. We love getting these updates and getting to hear your voices. Stay safe & good luck riding out the storm.
Love following along on this epic adventure! Randy, great to hear the excitement and happiness in your voice. Best of luck with the snow storm, Godspeed.
Happy to hear you are enjoying the adventure of a life time. Stay healthy and safe and good luck in the storm tonight and tomorrow.
