Camp 3/14,200 ft

They moved up to Camp 3 yesterday (Monday). It was a beautiful day after a bit of snow the previous day, and they packed up camp and moved up to their new home for the next several days. Everyone did great, there were some tired achy climbers last night, but that's to be expected. They'll be at this camp for at least 4 nights acclimating, carrying loads, and preparing to move up to high camp and on to the summit.

Here's a picture of the 14,000 ft camp from above, with Mt. Hunter in the background. It's a tent city of climbers from all over the world, so it's a pretty entertaining social scene high in the mountains.


Here are some (semi) personal messages that some climbers asked me to pass on. Don't feel left out if you didn't get a personal message, I'm sure your loved one misses you too.

Werner: "Hi from 14,000 ft. I'm doing great and miss you all."

PW: " Hi to Ma and Pa, Carla, Stanton, and my Jeff. I miss you all."

Sara: " Hi to all my family especially Caleb. I miss you."

Jules: "Lot's of love to the fam. I'm staying warm and using my sunscreen."
