A typical shift week lasts eight days. The Observatory maintains two crews, working on an every other week schedule. Every Wednesday morning the upgoing crew will ascend to the summit, and exchange notes with the downgoing crew, who leave in mid- afternoon. The weather room is staffed 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
