AAI lead guide Higinio “Quino” Gonzalez called in today to report Team 4 was  unfortunately still stuck at Camp 3, due to weather.

The plan for tomorrow is to move up to Camp 4, weather permitting. A high-pressure weather system is expected to move in, so they are unsure if the weather will allow them to move farther up he mountain.

Everyone is doing laundry and has high hopes for a big day tomorrow. We’re looking forward to
hearing from them again soon.

Everyone send some good weather vibes to Team 4 in the hopes they will be permitted to move further up the mountain!
