Just spoke with Mike Hamill. He said ‘discretion was the better part of valor’ and stayed at high camp today. The crew rested after a very long attempt yesterday and are set for an attempt in the morning. Margins are narrow when climbing in Antarctica, always better to be safe rather than sorry.
Mike said the weather’s looking better and we’re all hoping tomorrow’s the day.
