Summit News

"Where has the jet stream gone?" Those were the summary words of our
forecast team back in the Alps and it turns out they were spot on.
Kenton, Omar, & Greg summited this a.m. in what can only be described
as a morning blessed by the mother goddess herself. The sun crept up
the valley after a clear and star -filled night and for the first time
in six weeks looking down valley not a single cloud appeared. Beau
temps conditions from base camp to summit.

Kenton hung out enjoying the windless summit views for nearly an hour.
Greg shortly behind & Omar following. Tori & Ben supported here from
base camp where they may aim for a return up high later in the month.

Blurry from loads of coffee here at base, we're off for a much-needed siesta.
