High Camp! 17,200 ft

They moved to High Camp Today at 17,200 ft!! It was a beautiful sunny day and there was hardly a breath of wind as they moved from the 14,000 ft basin up to the W. Buttress ridge, and on up to Camp 4. There are some tired climbers up there tonight, but everybody is doing well, and they'll likely get a shot at the summit in the next couple of days.

The climbing on the ridge leading into high camp is some of the most beautiful on the entire route, and they had a great day to really enjoy it.

They arrived in camp by mid-day, set up tents, melted snow for water, cooked dinner, and are settling in for the night.

Here's Chris Kerrick with the evening call!
