Chris Cullaz called in from Base Camp, after the team had a fairly arduous descent down the West Buttress route. They have been battling difficult weather and travel conditions since they dropped around Windy Corner at 13,400 feet.

They made it to Base Camp in the wee hours of the morning and are settled in for the time being. It has been snowing quite a bit, but they are hoping for a bit of a window to fly off the glacier.

Here’s Chris!
