Grant called in for the May 8th team this evening after another day of waiting out the weather at the 14,200ft camp. They spent some time practicing some of the mountaineering skills they’ll need as they move up to high camp, including using a fixed rope and passing running protection. They’re doing great, but maybe going a bit stir crazy and watching the weather forecasts closely for the coming days. Grant wanted to pass on a Happy Birthday to Britanny!
Listen to the evening dispatch from 14,200ft


Happy Birthday 🎉
Practice is good!! Although I am sure you are ready to keep moving forward. Hang in there team!!! You got this!
Not sure how I missed this report, but glad everyone is doing well. And hope you get to move up soon! Sweet birthday wish for Brittani! Happy Birthday, Brittani!
Oh, this is Grant’s mom!
