The wind settled down for a while yesterday afternoon after beating climbers up all over the mountain for the last several days. Dave called late last night saying they were all doing well, and had finally be able to go down to get their cache of food from Windy Corner. It was great to pick up some more supplies, including their coffee resupply and 200 slices of bacon. It was also a bit emotional as they passed by the spot where Bill passed away only a week ago.
The break in the wind also allowed the Park Service helicopter to bring Bill off the mountain and begin the journey back to his family.
Let's hope they've got all of their bad weather behind them and can continue up the mountain soon.
