Camp 2

Dave called last night from 11,000 ft, the traditional Camp 2. Everyone is feeling good, and they are right on schedule. Today they'll take a rest day, so they are probably still sleeping right now. The team is strong and today they'll let some of their blisters heal up before carrying loads up to 13,500 ft tomorrow.

  4. Bill-

    Watching in with amazement from afar as you pursue just another "technical" climb. Sorry I missed the sendoff but I definitely won't miss the end-of-trip party & slide show.

  6. Hey Woolsey,

    Thinking of you and so incredibly proud of this tremendous accomplishment that you soon will summit.

    Be sure to send me a pic from the top when you return.

    Take care and if you are ever in need of strength think back to those times I would drive you nuts and how much determination it took just to be around me :)

    Looks like you're having good weather so far, and you get to lose those snowshoes and don some crampons on the way to 13,500! Hope you're having a great time.

    England beat Windies by 10 wickets in 1st cricket test at Lords. (This will mean nothing to the American climbers!) Hope you get better weather on he summit than we're having in Ireland.
