The team carried loads of food and supplies up the steepest section of the route yesterday (Thursday), in preparation for their move to High Camp tomorrow or the next day. They had beautiful weather and made good time.
The "Headwall" is a 600' (260m) snow and ice face that reaches 40 degrees in steepness. The climbers clip themselves into fixed lines with mechanical ascenders to protect themselves in the event of a slip. It is fun and exciting climbing that leads to a spectacular ridge, which they will follow when they move to High Camp.
