After yesterday’s big effort, we took today to rest and recover. It’s been a beautiful, warm, and sunny day here at 14,000 feet. We treated ourselves to a brunch of bagels and smoked salmon, and spent the day stretching, reading, and drying out gear in the sun.
With our carry complete, we’re fully focused on the summit window now—and hopeful that it comes soon. All the preparation is behind us; now it’s just a matter of timing. Once the push begins, things will move quickly.
Send us all your summit-weather vibes!
—Pete, Ben, Nick, and the Team
