Richard Riquelme called June 25th at 2pm PST with the following dispatch: Hey it’s Richard we are hunkered down for weather at 17. It was light precipitation today, and very cold and windy. Yesterday was very cold people and people were tired and recovering but are doing a little better today. Today we are just trying to kill the boredness and hope for a weather window. It’s pretty well protected here but as soon as you step onto the ridge it’s unbelievable wind. The wind coming up here on the ridge hit us hard and reached upwards of 50mph that gave us a wake up call about the funnel effect. Everyone has a little bit of a headache but that’s normal for this altitude. We are doing okay so just pray for good weather for us. Thanks for all your messages too, the team really loves the support.
