Bernie phoned home from "17 Camp". I was busy on a puny 12,000 ft mountain but he left a message and I got a few more details from Adria.
Saturday they bid farewell to 14 Camp, their home these past several days, and ascended the headwall once more. They retrieved the 16k cache and headed to 17,200 ft to carve out Camp 6. 17 Camp is not a comfortable place but cold and remote. It is also easy to be pinned down here by storms. Still lucky with weather there is a clear forecast.
Bernie and Matt are reporting problems sleeping but no other altitude related issues. They say it is really cold and made 14 camp feel "like a beach". From here nothing is left but the summit!
