Hello, this is AAI Team 5. Yesterday we made a cache above the fixed lines around 16,000ft. Today was a rest day at Camp 3 (14,200ft). Everyone really enjoyed the rest day and was able to relax. We rebuilt some walls around the cook tent. Tomorrow will most likely be another rest day as we are watching the weather. Looks like we are going to have an opportunity to move up in the next few days but weather changes daily here. Thanks for listening and we will check in with you guys soon.
