We weren't surprised to wake up to more snow and evidence of winds up high today. It's part of the process, and it took the team one glance up to the Buttress to know that we'd be sitting in camp again today. To combat the sitting, we made a checkers/ chess board, with jolly ranches and butterscotch for checkers, and Robby's artistic renditions for chess pieces. The forecast we got tonight looks like it may be another few days before we get our window, but spirits are high, and we're very comfortable here at 14 until that time comes. We're keeping our fingers crossed for the shift in weather we're looking for.
We'll be in touch tomorrow.

Hope you get a break in the weather soon.
Hang in there. Don’t eat all your game pieces.
