Tuesday

Muir was beautiful, and we stayed in the stone shelter while some hard-core climbers (like Tim on Tues) stayed in tents.

The clouds rolled in, though, and Nate (pictured smiling right after the vomiting) felt a bit better.

At 11AM we made a decision to have Tim's team take on Ashlin while Denise and Nate would go down with her experienced partner HR (who had some gastrointestinal upset from a recent trip to Mexico).

We hung out and waited for the storm to pass to see if we could make a summit bid...until at 5:30 PM the ranger informed us that Denise, Nate, and HR have not made it down.

The last picture is of us deciding that Brad and I will go look for them.
