Alasdair called at 11:15 am PST with this dispatch:
“It’s a little like the movie “Goundhog Day” here at 16,700, with more of the same:  windy and expecting more winds for the indefinite future.  There
is a huge lenticular forming over the summit.  We were expecting a rest day yesterday, but the day actually turned out to be really nice, so we decided to get things prepped and do a high cache.

That’s it for now.  Hopefully the weather gets better soon!”
