Up to 14,200

Durny just called from Camp 3 at 14,200 ft. The weather settled down as the day wore on, and they left camp 2 at about 1:00 this afternoon. It turned into a late day, but they are settled in, and getting ready for bed now. They were pretty excited to make some progress, and move up the mountain after a bit of a delay at 11k.

    Looks like you're making good time despite the weather. Be great if you manage to get out to "The Edge Of The World" and take some nice pics later today (yesterday here). Hope everyone's spirits are still up!

    We back in the office are rootin' for the team, and esp. Tim T... we are plopping SPOT updates onto Google Earth with terrain mode on and looking at it from around Kahiltna Dome.

    There was one SPOT update that looks like a glitch in the system... it put Gilles at 16000ft within half an hour of him being at Windy Corner.
