Unfortunately the entire message is cut short, but we are able to hear Mike give part of the team report. In spite of wintery conditions on the glacier, the team was able to make the quick drop down to retrieve their cache of equipment and supplies. Today is an example of an “active rest day”, which means that everyone had a chance to stretch his legs, but not exert himself.

A MT climber tops out on Motorcycle Hill. The trail then climbs up and right, passing the rightmost rock in the image. The West Buttress is the prominent “Peak” looking feature at top.

The plan is to cache a load of equipment and supplies around windy corner, tomorrow. Weather dependent, of course.

Here’s Mike:
