5/17 - Another morning greated by the soft pitter patter of snow on the tents, as we unzipped the vestibule we were met by moderate snowfall, and low visibility. The waiting game begun. Wait to see if visibility increases, if winds decrease and if the snowfall stop after a few hours, none of those things happened and we settled into another weather day. A morning of breakfast scramble, followed by hours of tent time, some shoveling and some naps. The night was wrapped up with "burgers" and weather. Here's too tomorrow?!

Sending the sun gods out your way to clear the skies. Wishing you all the best as you head for the summit. With all the preparations you have done, now the waiting game. Positive vibes and positive weather forecasts as you make you ascent, if not today then tomorrow! Cheers! Love you KTM!
