The team continues to do well and make further progress up the mountain! This morning we woke up early to chilly temperatures at 11 Camp before we began to warm up on Motorcycle Hill. We were then greeted by the morning sun on Squirrel Hill and it warmed up quickly! When we arrived at 14 camp around 1pm the heat was blistering! We were quick to dig out cache and drop our gear. Despite the heat we couldn't have asked for better weather today, blue skies and a not so "Windy Corner." We got back to camp mid afternoon, a perfect time to escape the sun to rest in our tents. The weather forecast looks good for us to move everything else to 14 Camp and make our new home up there tomorrow!

Matt,
Sounds like you guys are doing well! I read earlier that you guys ate salmon… just know that if you eat it on the mountain you can eat it off the mountain, lol. Daisy is pushing 20lbs already at 10 weeks. Starting puppy school on Monday, so hopefully I can regain some sanity and get some sleep.
Stay cool. Good luck up there!

Hello Tym and Team,
Great progress. Hard to imagine that heat is an issue. Bring on the sunscreen. Good luck with your push today for Camp 14!! Zeppelin, Zoolander, and Saxby wish everyone well, with a woof and meows.

Hello, Amir Jan,
I am impressed with your progress. I didn’t know you need to climb multiple times to upper camps to take your stuffs. That makes your climbing even more challenging. Congratulations, this will make an unforgettable climbing for you. Please take good care of yourself and say hi to the rest of group and specially your guide which has made this possible for you . Good luck, Hadi, Mitra’s dad,
