Lead guide Scott Woolums called in a brief update from 11,200′, before passing the phone to Volker. Unfortunately, the connection was abruptly lost before we could hear anything from Volker. Better living through technology, eh?
The team plans to move up to the big camp at 14,200′. They put a cache in today at about 12,500′, a bit lower than they had planned, but they cut their carry day short, due to wet snow that was falling on them in earnest.
Here is Scott (Sorry, Volker!!):
Hey Shai!
It’s great to hear about your ascent and progress. Yikes, never heard of wet snow but hopefully you are keeping dry and enjoying the beauty of the glacier.
Love you tons,
Meg
