Vinson Massif: Adjusting to Antarctica
Posted by: Seth Waterfall, Dave Hahn | December 07, 2012
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Vinson Massif
Elevation: 7,200'
Hello from Vinson Base camp where the winds are calm and the midnight sun is in full force. Today was our first full day of climbing! We carried food and fuel mostly and cached it at camp one.
The sun doesn’t really go down here but when it goes behind the mountain it gets very cold. Due to that we have had to alter our days slightly to take advantage of the warmer times. It’s a little bit of an adjustment but it seems to have suited the group just fine. Everyone did an awesome job today and if all goes well we’ll be moving our camp up the mountain tomorrow.

Julie,
The south pole is a long way from the wooden hospital in Deadwood, SD you were born in and the wooden school you attended in Black Hawk. And now the 7th continent and
the 7th summit. What next? Rock on…........

DG,
Happy to see continued good weather and that the winds aren’t a problem! While I’m not prepared to trade our weather for yours, it is gross here… predicted high in Raleigh will be nearly 80! Wishing you and your team continued good weather and that all stay safe and strong!
Love Oz & Steph

HW: You must be excited to finally get on the mountain after such a long journey from home! I hope the food we packed still tastes good in the extreme cold. I just showed the kids and your mom the latest blog posting and pictures. We wish you and the entire team would stay healthy and strong, and have a safe and successful climb. Love, -Fan
