Day 7 - Thursday, June 23rd - The SPOT message at 5PM was from 12,300 ft. on the route to Windy Corner and the 10:43PM message from 14,200 ft. would indicate the team has safely arrived at Camp III - 14,200 ft. - Advanced  Base Camp.  Because of the time between SPOT messages I am guessing the team retrieved their cache at 13,200 ft. and proceeded with all their gear to 14,200 ft. [we shall see].  While temperature can drop to -20 F when the sun dips behind the West Buttress the large plateau offers relative protection from the weather and allows climbers to acclimate while maintaining their strength.  Crevasse hazard is historically nonexistent within the immediate confines of camp.  The NPS maintains a camp here staffed with both climbing rangers and a medical personnel to assist in rescues and care of sick or injured climbers.
