May 10, 2007 - UPDATE #2
We received a surprise tonight and heard from Wes and Don. Finally! They are currently at the medical camp at 14, 200 feet. They arrived there yesterday (Wednesday). On Monday they took a cache up to 13,500 feet to "Windy Corner." They went back down to their camp at 11,200 on Monday night. Today (Thursday) they picked up their cache at 13,500 and brought it back up to their camp at 14,200. Tomorrow the team plans to take a cache up to 16,000 feet. They are also going to check out the fixed lines that start around 15,000 feet. They will then return to their camp at 14,200 and spend the night. On Saturday the plan is to move up to the next camp at 17,000 feet. Wes said that he felt sick yesterday (Wednesday) but got a good night's sleep and feels good today. Don feels great and is going strong. No frostbite for either of them. Wes said the sun was out and it was between 5 and 10 degrees above zero. They were getting ready to settle in with a hot drink. They will call again in a few days.
