14,000...

Just got off the phone with Heidi and the gang, still hanging tough at 14k.  They woke up to some broken sky and somewhat promising weather that deteriorated into winds, and snow thru the day.  This evening the winds have mellowed out, and they are very optimistic that they will be able to move up to high camp tomorrow.  The upside is that they will all be very well acclimated by the time they move up, and should be strong for their summit day!

Hi there, I'm looking forward to get some fresh news. Tomorrow 1st of july it will be my brother's birthday (FranÇois Morin). I was looking forward to celebrate it on the summit. But with the bad weather causing a delay, maybe it will not be possible. Whatever François, this year let celebrate you birthday the 2nd or the third of July, il will be just as exciting.
To the person who communicates regularly with the group, please tell our best wishes, from all familly, to François.

Thanks you
Josée

Overcast but not windy ! Looks good for a first summit attempt soon.

I'm with you ( and I'm jealous ;-))

Take care,
