Lead guide Andy Stephen checked in from High Camp last night. They had a very windy start to the day that cleared later in the evening, with the clouds breaking, allowing the sun to shine through. There were some swirling clouds on the West Ridge, which Andy noted is one of the coolest features on he route. The team did a great job and will be resting tomorrow, taking the opportunity to snap some classic photos on the Diving Board which is a cool feature right outside of camp.
