- Approaching Camp 2 with Mt Shinn behind (3rd highest in Antarctica) (Porter McMichael)
Max Bond checked in to report that the team moved up to Camp 2 today. They departed Camp 1 in the “afternoon” (Antarctica time) after the sun finally came around Vinson and hit them, they headed for the fixed ropes that ascend the steeper slopes leading to Camp 2 at about 12,400 ft. Now they are in position to climb, so it’s just a question of picking the best day!
