It's cold and windy all over the mountain right now. The report from 14K is, hanging out and waiting. None of the AMS crew are moving from 14 to 17 as they had all hoped to do today. -14 degrees f. last night at 14K.
Brian McCulough and Todd Passey's group went down toward the Corner to retrieve their cache. Lots of folks from around the 14 camp are going up the fixed lines and to high camp on the West Rib to pull food and fuel so they will have stocks to wait out another storm. Video footage of a little wind, snow event a couple weeks ago. Probably pretty similar to what everyone is experiencing right now.
We update the AMS blog whenever we hear from guides and instructors reporting from the field. Some staff call in more frequently than others. No news is good news and indicates all is going according to plan. We will do our best to keep those who want to be up to date, up to date.
