Today, life at 14,200 was pretty easy compared to yesterday. We had a slow breakfast and then roped up to retrieve our cache down at 13,500 ft. The day started with a cloud cap on the South Peak. As we went about our business that gradually morphed into cloud everywhere and a snowy day. But our timing was right and we got our work done before the snow. It only took 20 minutes to walk down to the cache, perhaps another 20 to dig it up and a little more than an hour to climb back up to camp. We were home by a little after noon. Then it was a tent afternoon while the snow fell. It was light, but persistent. Still snowing now at 8:40PM but without any wind. Certainly we’ll hope for some clearing in the night or tomorrow morning.
