Rest day at Vinson High Camp was restful. And welcome. Many of the team felt the altitude of our new home after a night of tossing and turning. But breakfast and another fine day, weather-wise got folks feeling a little better as the day went on. We drank lots of water and snacked throughout the day in order to recoup from yesterday and prepare for tomorrow. The forecast is certainly in our favor. We could see clouds forming far down below us and a few wispy formations on nearby peaks but there wasn’t much evidence of wind anywhere in the range. We’ll see how the gang fares with this second High Camp night -nobody had explicit plans for partying hard on this New Year’s Eve- but all things being good we’ll set out for the top tomorrow.
Best Regards
