Elevation: 10,400'
Saturday, May 14th - 3:32pm PST
We put our intention to move to 11,000' on hold today and decided that after a couple of big days with big loads, a rest day was in order. A leisurely wake up and breakfast led to naps and lunch, which led to more naps, photography sessions, and dinner. All together, the perfect rest day. Tomorrow, we'll wake, pack up this lovely camp, and make the move to 11,000'. This has been a great home but everyone is excited to move on and check out some new scenery. We'll check in tomorrow.
Best,
RMI Guides Pete Van Deventer, Robby Young, Jess Matthews, and team

Good for you, taking a rest day. Dragging all that equipment uphill over so much snow has to be a Herculean task. Hope you all banked some rest and energy for the next trek. Keeping all of you in my thoughts and prayers.

So glad you all enjoyed your rest day after such hard work! Seems like today (Sunday) you did make it to 11K (based on SPOT location), but I’ll wait to hear the official update. Justin, Chad’s 41st birthday is on Monday, so you know he is cheering you on and being your best guardian angel out there. #explore4chad
