And then there were three... Flights are booked, Kyle and I land in Seattle on June 12th, And Patrick follows up on the 13th. Our route will be the Fuhrer finger, And I for one am coming back with a vengeance. The last attempt on this route ended shortly after it began bandaging a climbers arm after helping him out of an extremely large avalanche around 7800 feet on the Wilson Glacier. Just weeks prior the mountain had received 6 feet of new snow, followed by record high temps.
This year, conditions seem to be shaping up nicely. We will have the SPOT tracking device with us so you will be able to follow our every move from the comfort of your warm home... More details to come.
And also, Sad news from the Pyrenees. Two Climbers fell into a crevasse at around the 10,000 foot level and perished. A third climber who went for help has survived. RIP
