Lead guide Andrew Yasso called in. The team successfully made it to 9800' and set up camp after their climb from Camp 1. They tried to move their cash up to Camp 2 at 11,000' but conditions were too harsh. So after arriving at their cash the team decided to turn around and head back down to 9800'. Everyone is safe and well back at camp, bundled up and waiting out the weather. If the weather permits they hope to attempt to move their cache up to Camp 2 again.
