Guide Kakiko Ramos Léon called in an update for the Mountain Trip May 13 team, who has made it up to 11,200′ Camp, also known as Camp Two, on the West Buttress. Despite challenging early-season weather, the team anticipates being able set a cache up around Windy Corner at approximately 13,500′.
It sounds like everyone is in great spirits and enjoying good meals along the way, making stellar progress up the route.
We’d also like to give a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY shoutout to guide Logan DeMarcus, who is celebrating his birthday today up on the mountain. We hope it’s an awesome one, Logan!
Here’s Kakiko, with a little shout out in Spanish at the end for his family!
Happy birthday, dear Logan, and safe travels to your team!
