Richard called at 2:38pm PST on 6/16 with the following dispatch:
Hello, hello, hello! This is Richard from Team 7! Here were are at
13,200′, and we are doing our cache at 13,400′. We are pretty close to
getting up around Windy Corner. I have some messages for you all out
there:
From Guy to Katie – Issac Newton has a lot to answer for. Love you.
From Jeremy – Missing you all, even Molly and Phantom (I may have gotten
this last name wrong, the phone was a little garbled here).
From Graham – Hope you have a great birthday. Miss you a lot. Love you and the kids. Thanks for the messages.
From John – Hi to everyone at Eagle Pro and any patients watching our progress on the hill
From Sid – Testing, testing, testing, 1-2-3… is this mic on?
From Andrew – Any thoughts on what is fashionable to wear on summit day?
That’s it for right now. It is nice and sunny. Clouds are down around
12,000′. Winds calmed down, in the morning they were at about 15-20 mph
at 14,000. But it is nice and lovely now, and I hope it stays like
that. Well, that’s all for now. Talk to you soon!
