AAI lead guide Andrew Yasso called in this evening. As anticipated, Team 5 remained at Camp 2 today due to fresh snowfall and unsafe weather conditions. They used today as a rest day, catching up on much needed rest after the long haul to make their cache yesterday.

The team had a late start to the day, sleeping in and eating some great food throughout the day. The sun made a brief appearance, allowing the team to charge some equipment before working on some camp improvements.

The plan for tomorrow will be to move up to Camp 3, weather permitting. Everyone is doing really well and say hello to friends and family back home.
