Click above to listen to Lucille's voicemail from Feb 4. The summary would be that she is at camp 7 on the glacier in the crater below the summit. They are waiting to assess the wind conditions in the morning and may need to wait another day. Cross your fingers for favorable conditions to fly. Ted

Ted, can u tell me what the wind conditions Lucille is looking for would be? I am looking at he summit forecast and wondering what is desired.
They would want a slight breeze in their face to make it easier to launch, but not more than 10-15kph. They could make it work in stronger if they need to, but I think Lucille said it was blowing something like 40kph, which is way too strong.
