IMG leader Greg Vernovage reports by sat phone that the team successfully moved from Condoriri Base Camp to the Huayna Potosi Base Camp and are now ensconced at the Casa Blanca Hut (about 15,500 feet). Today was an easy day, with some training, rest and reorganization, in preparation for the climb tomorrow up to the Campo de Rocas hut at almost 17,000 feet. The weather remains good and everyone is doing well.
