14,000 feet

Steve and Rich are at the 14,000 foot camp on the West Buttress with 3 other Mountain Trip teams tonight.  They are obviously moving right along, and will spend a few days at this camp making some trips up higher on the mountain to get well acclimated before dropping back down to the NE Fork of the Kahiltna glacier to begin the approach to the base of the Cassin Ridge.   (I know that's a long sentence...)  We will keep tabs on their progress and plans from our other groups on the mountain, and update if we have any other news.
