Just spoke to them again before they went to bed. The boys have only had minor elevation sickness so far. They said the temp is about 30 degrees. They are very impressed with the meals LOL. It's like being on Survivor. They said they get soup, saurkraut and stale bread. Sounds great! Brad's craving pizza. We are eating it in his honor tonight! He said it is the exact same soup every night, but they call it something different, zucchini soup, mushroom soup, vegetable soup. I'm sure Kirk and Brian are dealing better than Brad with the meals. If you know Brad, pizza and eating out are his specialties! The crossed the wall today and have 1 more day before the night climb. Brad's a little skeptical about the night climb, so keep them in your prayers. His said if a general hike is to take 4 hours, it has been taking them 7. Obviously his vision is holding them back a little, but the strength of Kirk and Brian are truly keeping him uplifted and going on!
Once again keep them all in your prayers!



This isn't them, but an idea of the Barranco Wall they climbed today.






Thanks

Dawn Hart (Brad's Wife)

  2. To the glory of God Brad, Brian & Kirk go forward knowing that our heavenly Father goes before them. May there be a full moon for the night climb and may its brilliance be as bright as the maker himself. We ask our Father to be Brad's eyes that night that he may see the path ahead as he takes one step at a time just as he parted the Red Sea as he guides them onward. You men are an inspiration to all of us and we love you dearly.

    Dad
