Next up - the summit?

Great news, the team has moved into Camp V at 17,000 feet today. I must assume they are now waiting for the weather window to make the summit bid. Here's what the mountain weather forecast says:

...ABOVE 14 THOUSAND FEET...
.FRIDAY NIGHT...PARTLY CLOUDY.
LOW AT 17 THOUSAND FEET...NEAR 5 BELOW.
WINDS FROM 17 THOUSAND FEET TO THE SUMMIT...SOUTHEAST 20 TO 30 MPH.
.SATURDAY...PARTLY CLOUDY.
HIGH AT 17 THOUSAND FEET...NEAR 10 ABOVE.
WINDS FROM 17 THOUSAND FEET TO THE SUMMIT...SOUTHEAST AROUND 30 MPH.
.OUTLOOK SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY...
LOW PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO REMAIN TO THE SOUTHWEST OF THE
MOUNTAIN THROUGH TUESDAY. AREAS OF MOISTURE WILL ROTATE AROUND THE
LOW AND PRODUCE A CHANCE OF SNOW AT TIMES. SUMMIT WINDS...MAINLY
SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST 20 TO 30 MPH.

  1. Looks like Heli's tracker may have a slight delay? I've also been watching another clients tracker, Bret Rhinesmith: https://share.findmespot.com/shared/faces/viewspots.jsp?glId=1Btt2kySKbd8rAYlPYLbIevsSvjbncDCM - password: climbon (choose to view in 'terrain' mode - on upper right of map screen)

    It looks like they are going for the summit! They appear to be nearing the 19,000ft mark. I'm cheering for the Ershler Team from my kitchen table! Happy Fourth of July!
    The site I am alternately following is not as much fun as this one though - thanks Kurt!
