Elevation: 16,200'
Yet another rest day! Today the team just chilled... all day. It was a windy night so most people made up for the lack of sleep by taking naps. Walks around camp, reading, taking pictures and talking took up the the rest of the day.
The assistant guides made it up to Camp 2 and back to cache almost all of the group food for the rest of the climb. This should help lessen the load for our team's move to Camp 2 tomorrow.
The wind died down this evening (woohoo!) so we enjoyed a comfortable quesadilla-making session outside as part of or dinner. Bellies are full and everyone is excited to continue moving up the mountain tomorrow.
Thanks for tuning in!

Merry Christmas Hannah and the rest of the team! Maybe way up there where the air is thin you’ll have a clear sighting of Sant, Rudolf and all the reindeer!
Sending you all much love, warmth and admiration,
Hannah’s Mom, Lisa
