I am so Happy!! The team had another record week and I got another
feather on my hiking boots. The way things are going I will fly
higher and off this mountain. Weather is turning a little chilly up
here and supplies are starting to freeze. I heard from the base camp
that the weather is changing for everyone down there-sounds like rain
& windy conditions. I just can't believe you are helping me in
getting to the top so quickly. We have 6 weeks behind us now-Keep
walking anyhow and Anywhere you can-but do it safely.
