Chris Jentz called in the report tonight with the good news that the team was able to take advantage of a break in the weather, and they are now at Vinson Base Camp. They arrived at Base Camp quite early this morning, spent about an hour setting up camp, and then got some shut eye. The plan is to have a big breakfast, pack up and move to Camp 1 today.
Chris gives a nice shout out to his family back home. Here’s Chris:
Hi dear husband – it’s great to hear your voice! Congrats on finally being “tented up” at base camp! I bet it’s beautiful there at 7K ft on Branscomb Glacier. I’m thinking good weather thoughts for your move up to Camp 1. If Jacob were a twin, this would be the All Twin team.
Thanks Chris, it sounds wonderful and beautiful. Hope
the climb is better than you ever imagined. Keep us
posted, go for your dreams! Love, Mom
Thanks for the message, that’s so great. I’m posting updates in French on facebook for the family in France.
