Mike Pond called at 12:57am PST on June 13th with the following dispatch: Hey this is Mike Pond -cut off- We do know that Team 6 is at 14,200 feet and cannot move until the snow storm passes and avalanche danger subsides.
(administrative note: there were messages on our machine over the weekend that had no audible message, just as this message had a long silence after Mike was cut off. It is quite possible that guides get cut off but don’t realize it right away and thus believe they left us a message when in reality all that got through was their name.)
