The crew moved up to High Camp yesterday (Wednesday). They are sitting tight in a well-fortified camp right now, with gusty winds buffeting their tents. The move up to High Camp is one of the toughest days of the trip, and they are taking a well-deserved rest.
Tomorrow they plan to make a bid for the summit, if the winds lessen. I'll keep you posted!
Meerie and Eileen are descending with a Mountain Trip team led by Heidi Kloos. They did great, but both decided that it might not be the best idea to push it further. Great job ladies!! They are descending from Camp 3 today and will spend the night at Camp 1 this evening. Early in the pre-dawn hours, they will pack up and head for Base Camp, as the air taxis are only able to land in the early morning hours, when the runway is most firm.
