Not much action for us today, big storm hitting the mountain. We were watching the weather from 3 AM, hoping for a chance to sneak up to 14 Camp ahead of the incoming storm, but ultimately we decided there wasn’t a sufficient window for doing it safely. After five days of walking and carrying loads, we rested today and watched it snow and blow. We sat a little long following meals and told each other stories in the dining tent. Forecasts suggest the storm will be with us tonight and tomorrow as well. We can wait.
