Waiting for the Weather

Well they spent another day watching the wind blow high on Vinson today. They did not try for the summit, as they are waiting for a better window of weather. Two teams did try for the summit today, but our crew thought it looked a bit too iffy to warrant an attempt. Both of those teams turned around about an hour out of camp and are now nestled in to their tents as well.

Everybody is hanging tough and is in good spirits as the heat wave of -25 F is still sticking around. They are hoping for the wind to calm so they can give it a shot tommorow. The benefit is that these extra days at High Camp will get them all well acclimitized for their summit day. We'll all hope for a good day tommorow.
