Camp 3...

Michael Heeley is flying out to Talkeetna as I type this morning, and our guide Greg Nappi is on his way back up to Camp 3 to rejoin the group. Luckily for Greg, the rest of the team isn't going anywhere today. The wind was calm this morning at 8 am, but by 9am when Durny called it was blowing 30-50 mph on the ridge above them. They've got their cache in place, and just need a couple of decent days to move to high camp, and summit. Everyone is committed to staying up there until they summit, or the trip comes to an end on the 1st of June. That can be the hardest part of climbing a big mountain, but hopefully their commitment and persistence will pay off.

    I know it's a terrible cliché but "all good things to those who wait". Sending good weather vibes, prayers and anything else positive I can think of your way. Hope the coffee supplies are still plentiful.
