Lead guide Andy Stephen checked in. Team 5 is having a snow day at Camp 2 and enjoying a breakfast of pancakes and sausage. The team will spend the day improving camp, going through snow school and will be spending time preparing for their continual push up the mountain. They are hoping to cache as soon as possible but it depends on what the weather brings over the next day or so. Tonight ‘Mike McChef’ will be cooking up a meal of dunkaroos parmesan (Thats even a mystery to us at the office!) but it will have plenty of cheese and good calories to fuel the team for their climb. At this point everyone is excited to return to a normal sleeping pattern.
