Jacob called this morning to say they were finishing a bit of breakfast and packing up to try for the summit.  The weather has improved this morning, and they are going to give it a try.  We hope to hear from them on the summit late this afternoon.  They’ll try to call from the top, but it can be challenging to get the satellite phone out if it is windy and cold, so no guarantees.

What a great way to celebrate Independence Day!
