Our Guys and Other Groups on the hill...

So I have been following along with a guide group that has several groups in various positions along the mountain, but the most exciting is a group that is at 14,200. Where our guys are.... This is a photo from their blog... and I cant help but get excited thinking,, one of those little specs is our group!!! THAT is very cool!
So which one do you think it is?? Make a Guess and post it, we can confirm when they get home! Good Luck!

AND more importantly, Brenda spoke to Ed last night. It was after my bedtime here on the east coast, so i didnt get a chance to get a post up.. I know,, I'm a slacker...
The word is that they are all healthy and feeling good! Weather is playing games with them for sure and they just wait wait wait.. like all the rest of those specs in the above picture. They were able to cache their gear up at 16,200 and now just are sitting tight. They stressed that they are being very cautious and are all working great as a team. They have also met up with others that they actually KNOW and have enjoyed quite a bit talking with them about the climb and the future weather outlook.

Stay tuned in the next few days for that window to open. I would imagine it is going to be a mass exodus to high camp when it does finally open and should be very exciting!

  1. My guess in the picture is the group in the upper left corner is ours.

  4. I'm thinking the group above and to the right of the group at "6:00". Somehow I think they'd enjoy being around the others but want some space in order to remain focused for the ascent ahead. That's a whole lot of crazy people in one place, however. Wonder what that would be called . . . a flock of fanatics; a pod of passion; a den of determination; a gaggle of greatness; a camp of courageousness..........nope, a mass of amazingness covers it all.

  5. Do you know how these groups will advance? Will they leave breaks between them or go all at once? I wonder if there are any women climbing.
