Dispatch 26: Narrow Western CWM

Hey, this is Dave again. I'm in this narrow, narrow Western CWM with the tall walls, so satallite keeps dropping out and i need to keep reconnecting. I was saying how I had come up, climbing up alone and didn't run into too many people in the ice fall. Which was nice. Then i ran into the AAI group, the Alpine Ascents Group, that Dave Morton and Vern Tejas are heading up. They seem like they're doing really well and it's always nice to see them. They're camped up around me somewhere, but I can't see anybody from my camp, from our camp, the IMG camp, and I like it that way. It's pretty novel for me to be up here by myself. I'm usually guiding and even on this trip where I wasn't guiding i would have been in rotation with everybody else, except for my knee injuries. So it's a little bit odd but pretty pleasant to be up here all by myself. We got a good camp up here, well stocked, well positioned and I'm pretty comfortable sitting out today at Camp I. Alright, I'll talk to you later. Bye...
