Hello readers,
Today we took a rest day. We watched teams pack up as the clouds rolled in and out and snow trickled down. All day snow has pitter pattered against our tents. For most of the day we were engulfed by all white. Teams rolled in from below and from above bundled up and looking a little weathered. The hope is to move tomorrow but the forecast isn't looking the most promising. It would not make sense to journey through snow, wind, and single digit temps to set up a brand new camp. If the weather improves and holds we will move up, otherwise we will weather this storm here at 11,000' Camp. Send all the good weather vibes our way!
Goodnight all,
RMI Guides Hannah, Devin, Erika, and Team

Thinking of you in our cold snap of 82 degrees here in Texas. Having a warm green tea latte and thinking of you sleeping in a tent 11000 feet with snow. What a world of difference! Love you M❤M
