I must have dropped off to sleep at midnight and then awakened at 1:30 am by his phone call. The connection was terrible – I couldn’t understand anything he was trying to say. Finally after the fourth try of calling me back, I was able to understand him say “Camp 3, high winds.” I hope they don’t last long. For the latest update go to IMG’s website.
I just heard from Bart that all climbers have retreated to Camp 2 due to deteriorating conditions at Camp 3. It started snowing resulting in possible avalanche risk.

Bart…We’re all here, watching, listening, waiting. But, we are not wondering or worrying.
It is exciting to know that you, a man we know to have gumption and guts, are there, doing your very best to achieve something you’ve spent much of your life dreaming and scheming about. Regardless of the outcome, we love and cheer you.
Of course, we hope you achieve your goal, and believe you will.
Also, we know you’ll listen to your heart, and follow the many good promptings you are receiving. God Bless you, Brother!
