The June 7th team is on the summit ridge, just minutes away from standing on the top of North America! The ridge is a truly spectacular place, with 1000' of air off to your left and 9000' of air to your right! At points, it is truly knife edged, forcing

Gary Falk called in from 17,200', with a nicely detailed report on he and Roger's climb up from 14,200' this morning. They awoke early and sneaked out of camp ahead of all the other teams, which gave them a huge advantage of not having to wait for anyone who might
