Mike and team checked in this morning. They completed their carry yesterday to C2 and are taking a rest day today at C1. Winds on the mountain are fairly strong right now so no huge hurry to move higher. Good day to eat, drink and rest.

Josh and crew are walking now to Pampas Lenas. This is their first of 3 approach days, all of which are valuable to their acclimatization. Josh reported great weather for hiking where they are and the team’s ready to ‘get at it’.
