Justin Merle just checked in at lunch ledges on the way down the fixed lines to let us know the team decided to take advantage of the great weather and carried to High Camp!  All is well, the team is doing great and they will finish the descent and wait for their time to head back up the mountain.  This carry is so Very important!  It allows to the team to see the terrain for their next portion of the climb and get important supplies high on the mountain; all the while getting in some important acclimatization.

The team will now head back down to Low Camp, rest and recover and when the next window arrives, they will head back to High Camp and be in position to summit.  Great news from Justin and the team and we will look forward to hearing more about the weather and plan in the days to come!
