Hello MountainZone, this is Matt Walker and Mike Roberts with Alpine Ascents team 9. Team vegeMIGHT is back huddled in their tents.

"...as we watched the upper mountain we saw large plumes of snow blown off the top..."

We had a false start this morning. Got up early, went and made breakfast, and as we watched the upper mountain we saw large plumes of snow blown off the top, which descended down on to the ridge. This means we won't be traveling today. So we're on hold for now, until we can move up. Our thoughts go out to the teams that are already up there in the wind. And that's what's going on. For us it's another rest day here at 14, more time spent in our sleeping bags (unintelligible).

Team vegeMIGHT at 14 camp.
