Listening to the wind run down the West Buttress sounds like a never ending wave crashing against a rocky shore. The snow is drifting 3-4 feet in places thanks to the 30 mph wind gusts. This is an actual weather day, the previous four have just been a warm up. The forecast is for more of the same. We continue to hang out in our tents and later today there is going to be a food swap so the team can get some different snack food choices.

Either way I’m praying for clear skies and safe travels. Love, M

Hey Robbo! You and Cole will have solved all the problems of the world (and maybe designed my world-changing invention!) by the time the storm moves out and you move up!! I think the whole town down here is pulling for you! Thank you, Mike, for keeping us in the snowy loop. Bon courage! XO, Maman
