Rest and acclimatization at 11,200 feet

The team rested and acclimatized today at their camp at 11,200'. It was a low-visibility day, with high winds above them and they knew it was not a good day to try to push higher up on the mountain. They elected to hang out in camp and, from the sounds of things, basically stuff their faces...

Joe called to say they spent the day lounging, reading and listening to music. They had some Philly cheese steak sandwiches for lunch, but that apparently did not satiate their need for protein, as they had hamburgers for dinner. It would be pretty amazing if they all come home having gained weight! I thought expeditions were a form of high altitude weight loss...

By all accounts they are having a blast.
