Dr. Frantz, better check Jessy's stats....she sure sounds silly ;-) Wowzers!!!! 11,000 ft. already? You are doing great! Keep up the good work. 88% - Hope your stats stay steady and you all continue to feel good until you reach the summit. Sending our good thoughts your way.

Thanks for doing what you are doing, it's inspiring to think of the effort that you have already put into doing the climb. Thinking of you and thankful for you!
