Luke’s team had a good night at the hotel in Papallacta with a big dinner at the restaurant and a couple of good ‘soaks’ in the hot springs. They’re prepping now for an attempt on Antisana.
Down on the Ice, Austin reports it’s too warm and it’s snowing too much. It normally snows very little in Antarctica – it’s just too darn cold. That doesn’t seem to be the case right now. Several teams have arrived now at C1 and everyone will be putting their heads together and working on the best course of action. For today, it’s all about staying at C1 and letting conditions settle before they go anywhere.
