The team is watching the snow fall at camp 2 this evening after another big dinner. Today's job was to go downhill to about 10,500 ft and pick up the cache of gear they left there on Sunday. It is a relatively easy day, only about 25 minutes down hill and 1 1/2 hours back up. Once again they all did great and moved right along today. It was snowing a bit all day, but not enough to stop them from getting their gear and food and bringing it up to their camp at just over 11,000 ft. The plan for tomorrow is to carry a load of food, fuel, and gear up to about 13,500 ft, dig a hole in the snow, and cache it. To get to this next cache they will need to climb around Windy Corner which was named that for good reason.
