AAI lead guide Paul Ivaska called this afternoon. Team 6 had moved up to High Camp (17,300 ft) on Monday and were hoping to summit today.
Unfortunately the weather had changed and it was a bit windy (30-50 mph winds at the summit), so the team spent their time building snow walls and fortifying camp. The forecast has the winds dying down and the weather is looking good for a summit attempt hopefully on Thursdsy (6/23/16).
Everyone on the team is doing well and they are all anxious about their summit attempt tomorrow, keeping fingers crossed.
Best of luck to Team 6 tomorrow, we're all looking forward to hearing from them soon!
