Dispatch 8 - January 5th Camp 1 16,300ft (4940m)

Today the team made the move from the Plaza de Argentina base camp to Camp 1 located at 16,300 feet (4940 meters). As Richard states "The glamping is finished", now the real expedition climbing begins! The winds are starting to gust and some clouds are moving in today, but the forecast shows clearing and sun again starting wednesday. It sounds as though everyone is pretty tired from the first cache and camp cycle, but in great spirits and getting rested up for more.
