From AAI Guide Richard Riquelme...

"Hello all. I am calling you from Camp 1 (16,400ft). The gents are feeling the altitude a little bit but that is completely normal. Even I feel a little head ache but that will go away after a little time here. This was our first real mountain day which is good for the crew. Wind was okay, not as bad as it has been but it got a little more menacing after we arrived here at camp. Supposed to get some humane weather here this week with clear skies and we are looking forward to that. That's about all I have to say for now and we will talk with you tomorrow."
