Vinson Massif: Hahn & Team Wait for the Storm to Pass

Elevation: 7,200'

Same storm, different day. We are still at Basecamp and this big system of clouds and wind is still hitting the Ellsworth Mountains. It came on a bit more today, with thicker clouds and hours of light snow falling, but so far we have been spared the big winds. The teams we flew in with journeyed on up to Low Camp despite the weather today, so we are alone at base, but none of us is particularly worried that we are missing some golden opportunity.

We ate, read, listened to music, ate, slept and ate again… getting set for the end of the world, or a good day for climbing… whichever comes first.

Best Regards,
