High Camp
The crew took a day to rest and acclimate today. They spent a few hours this afternoon digging in, and building walls with snow blocks to protect them from the wind. It was a bit windy today, not bad, but enought to encourage them to fortify their camp in case it picks up. This is a pretty common form of entertainment and exercise at high camp. Chris is pretty a meticulous wall builder, so they've probably got the best walls and squarest snow blocks in camp. They'll be watching the weather closely tomorrow (Tuesday) and hope to get a shot at the summit.

ReplyDeleteWhen you reach the summit look for the USGS marker, it's a gorgeous coin-size piece of stainless steel that marks the elevation and lat/long.
