Vinson Massif: Hahn & Team Remain at High Camp
Still at High Camp. True to the predictions, today was a lot like yesterday. Windy, snowy, socked-in, cold and consistently poor for going places. We passed the day in our sleeping bags, with a little more frost and snow building up in the tents each and every hour. But we are still smiling. We’re fed. We’re hydrated. Well-rested, tanned and ready for action. This evening, although we are still in murk and a ground blizzard, the peaks are out. Cloud free and shining in sunlight. The forecasters back at Union Glacier tell us we are in store for rapid clearing and calming tomorrow. In which case we’ll shake off the frost and get moving again.
Best Regards

Deja vu from 17 camp on Denali. I hope today turns out to be a great day for a hike. Cheeseburgers and beer on this end. Pop

Well done Dave, Sue and team regarding your Summit day! You all are “animals” and I want to be like you Sue when I grow up!
Sorry for the “extended rest days” at high camp but better headed down than headed up, yes?
