We have made it to 19,567' on the East ridge, our access to the NE Face. I just posted sone new pictures and will be doing a CNN interview around 10:45ish EST. A link will follow when I get it.

 We encountered some steep ice and mixed conditions while ascending the tight gully adter the 4 hour approach from basecamp. We all feel great and can see our route and are poised to make it happen over the next week!

 Live it!!!!!
