Scotty called Saturday afternoon to say he and James had gotten some solid information from another team about the weather and it appeared they had the window they've been waiting for!
I think the plan was to leave on Sunday to head over to the Cassin Ridge. There are a few ways to get over to the base of the climb, I'm not exactly sure which they'll be taking but it would take at least a day. There is a pretty good chance they'll do the Seattle 72 Ramp.
If they get the weather window and get up the climb there is a chance they'll be out early. According to the climbing guide, climbing time is 3-7 days up, and 1-2 days down.
Here is a complete description of the route.

Even better, here's Colin Haley's blog about it.
I'll be sure to update with any news I get! Go Scott (and James!) Go!
