Vinson Camp 1 checked in Saturday afternoon at 12:30
“Looks like we’re going to be sitting again today – weather’s improving but not enough to warrant going up high. The nice thing is that we have plenty of time and plenty of gas and food here at Camp 1. We also have the ability to see up to the location of High Camp so we can watch the winds blowing the plumes off the ridge giving us a good indication of when to move up. Quite pleasant with no wind down here at Camp 1 - all’s well and we’re just biding our time at picking the best shot.”
