The team made their back carry yesterday retrieving their cache near Windy Corner. They enjoyed a good meal of chicken pesto pasta and some rest. They will train for the fixed lines this afternoon and look to place their upper mountain cache in the next day or so. Weather has been cold up high but a warmer system is moving in.
