Vinson Massif: Hahn & Team Carry to Half Camp

Today was half preparation (which we've been doing a lot of lately) and then finally.... Walking uphill.  We took a "shakedown cruise".  Roping up and then carrying a load about half the distance to Low Camp.  It was a perfect day, in terms of weather.  Clear, calm conditions with bright and strong sunshine.  Great for getting started.  We only went a couple of hours uphill on the broad Branscomb Glacier, but as usual, the view got better and better as we went.  Eventually we were getting to see the surrounding spires and cathedrals of the Sentinel Range.  Mount Shinn, Mounts Epperly and Gardner.  And we couldn't miss the vertical mile of Vinson's West Face getting gigantic in front of us.  Our goals achieved at "half camp", we cached the gear and supplies and rolled on down to Vinson Base.  This evening was a little easier than last night, not so hectic since the camp was already built.  We're hoping everybody gets a full rest tonight, as tomorrow could be another good climbing day.  Best Regards, RMI Guide Dave Hahn
