Gear Cache at 13,200
Posted on May 26th, 2010 by sarah_hassell
Tuesday 5/24 – The team completed a successful single carry and cached half their gear at Camp Three at 13,200 ft. They returned to the Camp Two to spend the night and rest/acclimate (and eat) on Wednesday. On Thursday, the plan is to move all the gear to the Camp Four at 14,000 ft where they will spend four days acclimating and climbing.
The weather has been holding steady in the same pattern of cold in the mornings and intensely hot on the glacier itself. Despite the inconvenience of adjusting layers (and climbing times to avoid the hottest spots), it is actually pretty ideal climbing weather. They are making good progress and the team is upbeat and excited. The SPOT update was taken at the 13,200 camp.
hI YOU GUYS THINKING OF YOU ALL, SENDING YOU WARM, SAFE, GOOD WEATHER THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS. NOT TO FORGET HAVING THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE.
LOVE YOU
SUE
