Vinson in the Rear View Mirror
The IMG team is sitting pretty at Vinson base camp. Everyone made the big descent yesterday in good form. Now it’s again up to the Vinson weather gods to allow the team off the Ice and get back home. Best case scenario now is for a flight off the Ice on the 12th. Send your good thoughts their way. Everyone gets anxious/excited about getting off the Ice but safety always comes first and weather simply has to be good to fly. But hey, summit’s in the rear view mirror, camps are comfortable, plenty of food and no one’s heading back to Antarctica any time soon so let’s enjoy every minute of being on the most remote continent in the world.
All’s good on the Ice, other than it’s time to come home. Soon.
