From AAI Guide Chad Cochran:

Hello all, We made it to Camp 2 (11,200ft) last night. The team doing great despite some rough weather conditions. Everyone enjoyed some well-deserved pancakes for breakfast this morning. This is always a tough move day from Camp 1 (7,800ft) to Camp 2 (11,200ft). It was a hard day but the team did very well and now we can look forward to a rest day tomorrow as we prepare our strategy for caching below Camp 3 (14,200ft).
