Lead guide Andrew Yasso called in from High Camp (17,000ft). They woke up to high winds that unfortunately hindered the team from pushing forward. They were able to utilize the additional time to maintain and reinforce their camp or 'fortress'. The team is trying to stay active to help with their acclimatization by moving around camp and prepping for the next few days. They have plenty of food for the next several days and are hoping to find a weather clearing to leave High Camp and move forward.
