“The snow was this deep” aka “The fish was this big”... entering the phase of the expedition where we all tell tall tales of the epic conditions we encountered. I’m not sure how big the fish was, but I can tell for sure I was very stoked to be at almost 8000 meters on #K2. Need the rest, but can’t wait to get back up there. #K2noO2

K2. Storm scheduled for tomorrow
Seven Summit Treks report that most climbers are now in C4 K2 and are planning an assault on July 18th.
Yesterday, five Sherpas, who were hanging the ropes to the top, fell into a small avalanche that dropped them fifty meters. 
Fortunately, they managed to get rid of "slight fright" and minor injuries. 
After spending the night in C4, they continued to hang.
Recall that 164 permits were issued for climbing K2 this season. Now about 120 climbers expect to climb to the top

While on my bigger alpine climbing trips I do so much hiking that I feel I can get decently fit in a cardiovascular sense during the trip. Technical climbing fitness, on the other hand, is hard to maintain during a big trip, when truly prioritizing one's main goals on big mountains. Thus, between trips I feel I need to put some energy into regaining technical climbing prowess. Hence, in the three weeks since returning to Chamonix I haven't gone alpine climbing once, and instead have been focusing on regaining lost rock climbing ability. Anyways, it's pretty darn fun for "training!" As someone who prioritizes my alpine climbing goals, I am accustomed to never realizing my potential in rock climbing, but whenever I have a period of pure rock climbing it does start to feel tempting to train it more! It's certainly easy to feel inspired for rock climbing at the moment in Chamonix, having just watched one of the IFSC lead world cups. Competition climbing is about as different from my area of expertise as climbing can be, but in the past year @aceeaux and I have gotten pretty into watching the world cup finals on YouTube. I've never really been much of a sports fan in the past, but that is changing! It's true that modern competition climbing is extremely unlike real rock climbing, but it's still awesome, and certainly incredibly impressive! ガンバレ🇯🇵! Photo 1) @ad_wyatt climbing a stellar pitch on the south face of l'Aiguille du Midi. 2) Sport climbing in Les Aiguilles Rouges. 3) @aceeaux climbing Poème à Lou, on Brévent. 4) One of our favorite competitors, @kai_hrd in the finals yesterday. @patagonia_climb @petzl_official @scarpaspa @totemmt @ Chamonix, France

Antarctica: This majestic place will be my home from the end of October to the beginning of February. Whilst I am there I will be guiding numerous ascents to the highest mountain on this incredible continent, Mount Vinson (4897 m) and expeditions to the South Pole. To say that I am excited would be the understatement of the century! 😁

It's time for K2 summit push. Early tomorrow I'm heading up to C-2 then hopefully no later than Friday I will have internet again and you'll know how it was 🙂 Weather is exceptionally good (my friend Max said: the weather is worryingly good!) so now health is really the only true opponent as I've lost a lot of weight and strenght due to a hellish viral infection.
I took this picture some days ago on our acclimatization rotation to C-3 with Broad Peak in the background. Okay, talk to you guys in 5 days!

Forest area. The reporting party/husband advised the Sheriff’s Office that both his wife and their dog vanished from the campground while he was re-positioning their vehicle. 
After selecting a campsite, Sheryl Powell (a 60 year old woman from Huntington Beach) exited the vehicle to take the dog out for a bathroom break while Mr. Powell re-positioned their Jeep. After exiting the vehicle Mr. Powell could not locate Mrs. Powell or their small 5-pound black/white dog. After searching for almost an hour, Mr. Powell alerted law enforcement through his satellite device.
Mrs. Powell is described as an experienced hiker – she is 5’3”, 120 pounds, brown hair, and brown eyes. She may be wearing a purple top. The small dog has a red leash.
Inyo Search and Rescue and Inyo Sheriff began searching immediately after receiving the notification on July 12. Aerial reconnaissance was provided by CHP-Inland Division Air Operations. CHP H-80 was equipped with a FLIR device as well in order to detect thermal imaging.
Today ground resources were provided by Inyo SAR, Mono SAR and China Lake Mountain Rescue Group. Aerial reconnaissance is provided by Naval Air out of Lemoore, and CHP-Inland Division Air Operations.
Please contact the Inyo County Sheriff’s Office at (760) 878-0383 if you have any information that can assist in locating missing camper, Sheryl Powell.
