Satellite call from C1
Progress continues on the Ice. Justin called in late on the 2nd to let us know that the team had moved up to C1. That’s a good thing. Justin and crew will keep an eye on the weather and see what makes sense tomorrow – whether to make a carry to high camp or perhaps take a rest day. Trick is to find that balance between taking advantage of every day of good weather but trying not to burn any team members, too. That makes guiding as much an art as a science.
