Vinson Massif: Hahn & Team Start Out and Then Return to Low Camp

Still just a bit breezy up high. The teams at High Camp reported steady 15 knot winds but thing looked a lot better from Low Camp today, the giant airwave lenticular cloud to the west of the mountains was gone and we had high hopes for going high if the snow streamers off the ridge died down. They did, a little later than we would have liked but we decided to break camp and make the move. We only got to the base of the fixed ropes before deciding to give it one more day. The team wasn’t firing on all cylinders and the continuing cold winds above the fixed ropes could make the last hours into High Camp quite difficult. We set up Low Camp again and set our sights on tomorrow. Best Regards RMI Guide Dave Hahn

Hang tough Sue and team.  You will pull this off and if memory serves me this will be number 3 of the big 7!
