Paul called Tuesday June 5 with the following update:
“We have returned to the camp at 14,000 feet. The weather at high camp was atrocious,
and the forecast for the next four days is for sustained winds at 45 mph. It is definitely not summit
weather.
“This team is really strong, and I have no doubt they all would
have made it if we had gotten a break in the weather.
“We’ll be here tonight and will probably head down tomorrow,
but we don’t have a schedule set yet.
We’ll let you know when we decide to move. That’s it for now.
Hello from all of us to everyone back home.”
