Greetings, We had a good first night at Camp 1. Everyone is doing great and feeling strong. We did sleep in a little this morning and woke up to a beautiful cloudless day. A welcome treat after the last few mornings of rain. After breakfast we headed downhill to pick up our cache that we left two days ago. It was a quick roundtrip and we were back in camp by lunch. Since it was a rest day, we fired up the stoves and had quesadillas for lunch and lounged around camp. Starting tomorrow, we will be on the glacier for the rest of the climb. We wanted to get a little review in, so we went out on the glacier to practice some cramponing and ice ax arrest. We are all ready for tomorrow! Now we are back at camp hydrating and trying to make a dent in our pile of snack food. Dinner will come soon enough and we enjoying the late afternoon sun and the constantly changing colors on the upper mountain. What a view. All the best, RMI Guides Jeff Martin, Pete Van Deventer, and team
