Keith, Taylor and Rick phoned in today to say that everyone is doing well. They have ascended to high camp, which is at 17,200 feet. The last two days were challenging, but they feel good, and they are hoping to push for the summit tomorrow (weather permitting of course). Their ascent yesterday brought them up a headwall, and along a narrow ridge to where they are currently camped 3,000 feet below the summit. Keith sends a very special birthday message to his son Kegan - "Happy Birthday and I hope you enjoy Toy Story III with Mommy!". During each day Keith thinks about Kegan with almost every step. Even though Kegan might be thousands of miles away he is never far from Keith's heart. In fact, Kegan and Stacey made Keith a very special therma-rest with hand prints and drawings to make sure Keith never gets homesick. On nights like tonight having Kegan's hand print next to Keith's head as he sleeps makes all the difference! HAPPY BIRTHDAY KEGAN!
The reports from the mountain continue to be sporadic, but we'll continue to post details as soon as we have them! Check back again soon!
