What a windy day on the fixed lines looks like (Eric Remza)
Mike called over the weekend. No relief from the winds at high camp. Mike and team are just happy they made the right decision to wait this one out at C1.
Tim and Mike took several hours and hoofed it down to Vinson base camp to pick up more food and fuel. Vanessa and John stayed at C1 and reinforced walls. Forecast still calls for a few more windy days. With a good camp and plenty of supplies, the team is right where they should be. They’ll be chomping at the bit to head high when their opportunity comes.
All good on the Ice.
