That’s Ice – As Far As The Eye Can See
Spoke with Mike Hamill Wednesday afternoon. Another positive day. The team made a carry up just short of high camped and cached there. Positioning the extra supplies there allows them to move right to high camp when they’re ready for their summit push. Weather was again quite good. Mike relayed that they may see some deterioration in the weather today but it’s forecasted to be short lived. If that forecast holds true, the team’s in exactly the right position.
Today’s a rest day down at C1. We’ll see if the weather looks ‘right’ tomorrow for a move up to high camp. All’s well down on the Ice.
