Carrying Loads to Windy Corner

The team is doing great, and staying right on schedule. They carried loads up to just below "Windy Corner" today. Typically Dave Staeheli would have planned to cache the gear above windy corner (around 13,500 ft), but today it lived up to it's name, and the wind kept them from getting as high as planned. They'll still be able to move up to Camp 3 at 14,200 ft tomorrow if the wind dies down. Everyone did great today, they are having a good time, and it looks like they might have some pretty nice weather for the next few days.
