Winds had calmed by 5am, and I got my hopes up as I fired the stoves in the cold Alaskan dawn. But it turned out to be a brief lull instead of a pattern change. Persistently strong winds and snow returned and we were dealt another weather day.
We’re optimistic that the weather pattern is changing; we saw the sun this evening for the first time in four days. We’re all in good spirits, ready and rested for the move to 14k.

Sounds like adventure! Hope you guys get to do some climbing soon. Let us know if you want us to post the Learned League questions in the meantime… Cicadas are buzzing here. BBQ at Levin’s w/ special guest Melmer tonight. Learned League Q of the day (Culture): guess who’s not leaving Bmore. Stay safe and enjoy the mountains,
