Weather at 14k Camp. (Photo by Michael Bellamy)
Weather day at 14,000 ft. for Greg and his team. Not terrible but not the right time to move up. I remember a saying that famous Alaskan bush pilot, Doug Geeting, had in his plane – “when in doubt, don’t”. Works with mountaineering as well as flying, I do believe.
Food, fuel and time are not an issue. The weather will improve and, when it does, the team will move to high camp at 17,200 ft.
