It was a beautiful day (again) in the Alaska range, and the team took advantage of the weather and carried a load of food and fuel up to 13,500 ft right around Windy Corner. They are doing great, made it to the cache in just 4 hours this morning and sat there for about 2 hours eating lunch and enjoying the beautiful day before descending back down to camp. They were just getting ready to fire up the stoves and start making dinner when Durny called at about 5:30pm this evening.
Tomorrow they hope to move up to Camp 3.
The West Buttress route comes up from the lower left corner of this picture, traversing up and to the right, under the rock buttress. The snowy basin in the center of the picture is the 14,000 ft basin and Camp 3.

Wow! The view looks spectacular! Doug, it was 94 degrees here today and no sign of rain any time soon. So think warm weather to help you stay warm! Be safe!
