Not much to report from 11,000' Camp. Today we woke to snow, after breakfast we were shoveling snow and about every two hours since there has been more snow to shovel. The one caveat is that the wind is light. The Team has been working on "out chilling the storm" as a long time RMI guide once put it. We are hopeful that the weather begins clearing tomorrow so we can put a cache in striking distance of 14 Camp. Everyone is healthy and warm.

Alex,
After hunting around the RMI website we are 90% sure this is your expedition. Stay warm and tend to the small details: feet, hydration, etc… Best to the whole team- and Malin says you did this to yourself :)

“Health and warm”...couldn’t ask for a lot more right now. Prayers that those conditions prevail through out the climb.

My dad always said shoveling builds character. Of course he wanted his driveway shoveled at the time. But there’s a ring of truth to it. Stay warm and safe y’ all! Next stop 14K!!
