After yesterday's big effort, it took some snow and evidence of wind at Windy Corner to decide to take a full chill day at our 11,000' Camp today. Food, movies, books, and naps filled the time, and left little room for anything else. We are feeling good about a move to 14,000 ft Camp tomorrow, and after today, everyone is excited for a change in scenery.

Great to know that you are taking good care of yourselves to be fit for the last ascent! Can’t wait to read the report from the summit. Good luck to Magnus and everybody else in the team!
