  Go, go, go. Rooting you on from SF, current elevation 19 meters, descending to my base camp of 18 meters shortly. Keep it up, can’t wait for the summit post.

  I love this! It’s reassuring and exciting to actually HEAR what’s happening. It’s less reassuring to hear about fighting through 6 feet tall upside down icicles and being stuck in a tent, cold to the bone, while the wind (which could knock you back as you climb) howls outside. “Wish we were there” does not apply in this instance!

  We are about to launch off on a bike ride, climbing from 160 feet to 310 feet. Wish us luck

  We salute you all and think about you all day long and pray that you will put discretion before valor as you head up into the hardest part of the climb.

  Please be safe.
  Love,
  Mom and Dad
