Lead Guide Angela Seidling called at 12:16pm on Monday, June 7th:
Hello, world! Yesterday, moved up to 17,000 camp.
There were some major high winds in the morning on the ridge. We waited it out and left at 1:00pm in the afternoon to head for the new camp. By then, the winds had died down. We had a beautiful, calm stroll up to higher camp. However, as we neared the camp, the winds picked up again. The last 15 minutes were blustery. We had to set up camp in the wind and cold temps. As you can imagine, we’re all kind of tired right now. Tomorrow will be a rest day as of right now, but if the weather is nice, we might go for it! It’s feeling very winter-y out there.
One more thing: Our current team name is BOOM!
