We haven't heard from the guys yet, but Scott had told me it would be Tues. or Weds. before he called again. It looks like the latest weather forecast shows the front moving in Weds. night, so there is a good chance that they are getting in position to move up to Camp V today, rest there at 17,200 ft. tonight and go for the summit Weds. a.m. Of course, I am just speculating and will let you know once we get word from them!
Here's the new weather forecast:
SYNOPSIS...A WEATHER FRONT NORTH OF THE MOUNTAIN WILL WEAKEN TODAY. NORTHEAST WINDS OVER THE SUMMIT WILL INCREASE WEDS. NIGHT AND THURSDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT OVER THE ARCTIC OCEAN MOVES SOUTHWARD.

Hi, this is Aaron's little sister Alex. Just wanting to say that I've been keeping up w/ the blog and praying for both of them to make it to the top! Also, a big happy birthday wish to Aaron goes out to everyone back from the UP! Oh, and GO WINGS!
Hi Alex,
I understand you have a graduation coming up, so you must be excited for that!
Thanks for your feedback on the blog - I'm glad you are enjoying it! I plan to post a tribute to Aaron tomorrow in honor of his birthday. Stay tuned...
I still am amazed that this was done. It is truly amazing! I'm so happy that they both made it to the top successfully and safely. :) Our local news here may possibly do a little story about it.
