Huayna Potosi. (Greg Vernovage)
Luke checked in from High Camp on Huayna Potosi today and reports that there is good weather and some new snow on the ground from the last storm.
The team is doing great and will have an early dinner of chicken and pasta before they get off their feet and rest. Tonight will be the highest elevation the team has slept at so far. Much of the time will be spent just laying down and resting. It’s tough to go to bed early especially combined with the excitement of climbing Huayna Potosi in the morning.
Luke said that they are planning on waking up at 12:30 and climbing by 2:00 am. This will give the team plenty of time to climb and get down before the afternoon clouds and fog roll in.
Everyone is psyched to be at high camp and are all ready to take on the challenge of Huayna Potosi tomorrow!
