Lead guide Chad Cochran called in. The team is successfully settled at 14,000′, with the plan being to take a rest day to wait out the high winds. Everyone has been doing well and particularly enjoying the extra rest day! This has allowed the team some additional time to organize their gear, restock on calories, and prepare for their next move to High Camp. There looks to be a window of promising weather within the next couple of days.
