National Weather Service Windchill Chart
Phil called in last night to report that after a week, their time at C1 is thankfully coming to a close. Winds yesterday were relatively calm with temps around 0 degrees Fahrenheit, but while it was nice at C1, the winds were estimated at 50+mph up at High Camp forcing the team to hang tight for another day.
The team will get moving around noon today after the shadows retreat as the sun rises above the ridge making their climb to High Camp a touch warmer. A good 48-hour forecast should give them solid summit window on Thursday.
That’s all for now.
