Elevation: 14,200'
Wulp, your intrepid team has made it smoothly and safely into Camp 4 at over 14K! Forecasts were calling for an end to our decent weather on Thursday or Friday so we decided to push up and forego a rest day at 11. The climbers have been motivated and moving strongly throughout the trip, which made the decision to move up a relatively easy one. We were greeted by RMI Guide Pepper Dee with a great looking posh and nice camp to move into. Pepper also had plenty of cold water for us which really hit the spot after our first really hot day on the move. Not much else to report other than pretty marginal weather forecasts and a happy team sitting pretty at 14.

Nice work team!
Doug - got your text last night…it was such a challenge not to respond. I am so glad to hear that you and the team are climbing strong. I wish I could see what you are seeing, so stay safe, move with grace, and tell me all about it when you return!

Glad to hear it is going well Kevin. Be careful with the upcoming weather. We only have 2 more office days without you - we have almost done it!!

Kevin , quite the contrast to where I am, I’m 150’ above sea level and looking at pulling in a crop of Hay soon. Uncle Val visited again last night, I’m sure he’ll be in on your return trip home.
