Vinson Massif: Hahn & Team’s Snow Day

Not so much change today. Clouds and murk. We still got up and came to breakfast smiling. We engaged in a vicious scrabble showdown, spewing two-letter-words and bingos. After lunch we marched out into the falling snow and slight breeze. We cruised the now-familiar 10k loop, on foot. It took about two hours with the new snow a little squishy -like beach sand- underfoot. Despite the cool conditions we each warmed up pretty thoroughly. There was still time for resting and mingling with the other inmates before dinner. Afterward, we played a few more games and talked a bit more about the weather. Some went to see a movie about overwintering on the Antarctic continent. Most folks are optimistic that we’ll get a break from winter tomorrow. Best Regards, RMI Guide Dave Hahn

I was feeling a little sorry for all of you being stuck at Union Glacier until I heard you had a Scrabble game there.  Who knew???  Did anybody play quixotic for a triple triple with bingo?  You better pack the Scrabble game for when you get weathered in at base camp after you summit.  By the time you get this we’re thinking you will be on your way to Vinson.  Keep smiling and climb strong!
