Today the weather looks worse down low, so it’s not looking good for today either. There were reports from yesterday that the weather high on the mountain was beautiful. Here is a photo from 14,200 taken by a team who got in before the weather.

I have gotten emails about the satellite Tracking Map and Satellite Messaging not working and that is because the weasels have not been released.
