Got back into camp after caching at Washburn's Thumb @ 16,200', our final one. Today was the start of the real alpine climbing. Fixed lines up a 50 degree ice slope and descending was pretty wild with magnificent views. The weather continues to be decent minus the sub-zero nights, but we don't know what each day brings. I'll keep you posted on our plans. For now, tomorrow would be a move to Camp IV at 17,200' or we could get stuck here with the weather. Barring something crazy, we could have a summit attempt this week.
