Vinson Massif: Hahn & Team Continue Training and Waiting

Not much change for us today... clouds and murk, no flying. But we are holding up just fine, in any case. We passed the morning demonstrating crevasse rescue techniques -without the crevasses. Then, just to get the blood flowing, we hiked out to “the Christmas tree” a plywood and fabric landmark 2.5 kilometers down the snow road in the direction of the ice runway. Although technically still on standby for flying to Vinson, we mostly just kicked back and relaxed in the afternoon as snow clouds encroached and visibility diminished. The evening program consisted of a slideshow by David Hamilton -one of ALE’s guides- detailing his ski traverse of the Austrian Alps. Forecasts call for an end to this storm... some day soon. We’ll be ready.
Best Regards
RMI Guide Dave Hahn
