From lead guide Tad McCrea:

“Hello, all. Hope everyone had a good weekend. We are on day four of being at 10,000ft. The weather subsided for us today but was still too marginal to travel. It was nice to get a small break from digging but we still saw about 10 inches of snowfall. Tomorrow, our plan is to cache or move to Camp 2 (11,200ft) and prepare some campsites. There will be a lot of snow waiting for us. Send us some good weather vibes!”
