The team took a rest day yesterday (Sunday May 14th). Camp 2 (11,200ft) received over a foot of snow and they decided it was best to let team rest and enjoy some good meals before moving up to Camp 3 (14,200ft). The main ingredient in these meals was cheese (breakfast sandwiches, quesadillas, and pasta and cheese). With the cache already in at 13,500ft the team is in a great position to move on up the mountain.
