They're climbing! Their new position is Lat. 63.0135, Long. -151.2813. It looks like they are at the first advanced camp on the summit of Mt. Crossen (a smaller peak on the way to the summit of Mt. Foraker). The next piece is a traverse of a three mile-long knife-edge ridge to a second advanced camp, then a summit push. Perhaps it was worth the wait?
Thanks for the updates, Shireen! I'm back from Canada and thinking good thoughts for the boys up there! I hope you are doing really well. love chuck
