From AAI Guide George Bieker:

Day 2 at basecamp started with cinnamon rolls under blue skies. Our team covered the basics of glacier travel and crevasse rescue. Snow flurries throughout the day didn’t dampen our spirits.
We look forward to the move to camp tomorrow if the weather holds. Lenticular clouds over Sultana darken the sky as we prepare for the night. Team 2, over and out.
