Hope you don’t have too much snow removal to do from your camp and that the weather settles into perfect climbing weather very soon. The kids say HI to their Daddy, Lee!

Great to hear some news! I will certainly be praying for you, Lee, and all your compatriots. You’re as high now as I’ve ever gotten . . . keep going! I can only imagine what it actually looks like seeing it with one’s own eyes. And I suppose the Creator must be bigger than this, since He made it! :-}

Hey everyone, hope your still killing it up there and telling some good jokes (hopefully not canadian related). You guys are the best and I can’t wait to hear about the trip, I miss you all alot!
O, before I forget… lee here is an intro to the north-dakota jokes i’ve come across.. many more to come.
Q: Why did North Dakota raise the minimum drinking age to 25?
A: They wanted to keep alcohol out of the high schools!
Q: How do you know the toothbrush was invented in North Dakota?
A: If it was invented anywhere else, it would have been called a teethbrush.
Take tons of pictures for me on the summit!
Lots of love from Calgary,
Sasha

Great post and update! Good job everyone….Guides included. We would not get very far without our awesome mountain guides! I am not paid to say that by the way. :)

Kristina and Mike,
So glad the trip is going well. It is amazing to see all the snow and think of the cold while we hit 89 today and it is dry, dry , dry. Enjoy your rest day and thanks for the updates.

All the best. It is fantastic that you are now on the high part of the mountain. We are looking at the magnificent pictures on the website. It must be an incredible experience to be at that altitude getting close to the top of the world. We look forward to the stories. Keep safe.
Love Dad, Mom, Brooklyn and Spencer
