The June 9th team is still holding at 14 Camp (14,200 ft / 4,328 m) as they carefully monitor the weather. The main focus today has been assessing the forecast to determine whether a safe window will open for a move to 17 Camp (17,200 ft / 5,243 m). Weather at high camp is often colder, windier, and less forgiving, so timing this move right is crucial. For now, the team is staying patient and using the downtime to fine-tune their systems.
Camp construction continues — snow walls are being reinforced, tents are buried in, and gear is prepped for the next push. Morale is high, and the team is staying warm, focused, and optimistic. Everyone’s got their fingers crossed for a shift in the weather pattern later this week.
