What has the weather been like these past few days? What are your plans for moving up,once the 2 guides return?
So sorry to hear David had to leave. Hope everyone makes it back safely. Onward and upward!!!

Hi everyone, could you let us know which david had to come down (theres 3 on the team!).
Sorry to hear that one of the team had to head back down. Really unfortunate time to get toothache. Hope the rest of the team are keeping warm up there. Also hope that the winds die down and the avalanche risk is sorted so that you can head to your next camp. You are not missing much at sea level Phil so enjoy those views. jacqui
Which David had toothache?
It appears that David Pritchett was the person who came off the mountain.
Sorry for the confusion.

I can never believe you all climb up and down the huge mountain once, not to mention up and down like Tad and Dustin are doing. Way to go!
Here is wishing you all strength, stamina, and motivation for the big push to 17,000 feet and beyond!

This is Celia from California. I am Jim's cousin.
Sorry to hear one of your team had to depart.
I would like to wish Uncle James a very happy belated birthday (Monday, June 11)! We are thinking about you and following your progress. Very exciting stuff!
Keep up the good work and love you lots, The Bartholomews
Please tell what is going on with team 6, so that we don't have to guess what you are doing based on the reports of Team 5.
What are your team's plans for the next few days?
What is the weather like?
What type of weather have you encountered on Sat, Sun, Mon, Tues?
How many days were you delayed due to the 2 guides going back down? Do you have any plans of reaching the summit?
Where are you?
The weather is bad on the mountain. We suspect that Team 6 is having a hard time making sat phone calls...
Hi All:
I'm a supporter and friend of Mark Mueller. Go Mark! It would be great if there could be more specific information here about the current and forecasted conditions. We are following those from Team 5 but would prefer Team 6 info,
Be safe and keep reporting!
Thanks!
Laurie
