Acclimatizing at 17,200 ft.

Zach checked in last night to report pretty windy and cold conditions on Tues. The team spent the day in camp resting and refuelling for the pending summit day. Everyone is doing very well.

The forecast is calling for minor wind events for the next couple days. With the temps being what they are, the team is looking for a nice calm day to make their summit push. They have a well stocked camp at 17,200 ft. This affords them the option to be patient. The forecasts for the upper mountain seem to be wrong as much as right. It's a game of wait and see!

Happy Trails!
