Trip Reports
Peter called in the team report today. He speaks of poor weather and windy,snowy conditions. The team tried to pick up a cache of equipment and supplies that they left buried on the glacier the day before, but as the team was forced to turn back to camp due to the weather. Everyone is safe…
Team Fubar moved to Camp 1 at 7800′ today. The team took advantage of the cooler evening hours to move up the glacier, as the lower glacier can be very hot (!) during the heat of the day. It sounds like the team arrived at camp at 3 AM, and the plan is to rest…
