We talked to Josh yesterday after their carry to high camp on Ixta. Pretty much perfect weather and the team performed well. We all need a certain amount of time to acclimate before going too high, especially before sleeping too high, and a carry up to their high camp fits the bill nicely. Water can be scarce up there and the stuff is heavy so nice to make a little carry before the actual move. That’ll happen today.
All’s good in Mexico.
