Vinson Team is holding tight

IMG Senior Guide Jonathan Schrock sent a message this afternoon to let us know the team is doing great and our camp has been fortified to handle any of the wind that might come through tonight.  The word from High Camp was “strong winds and no movement today.”  Our Team at Low Camp experienced light winds but did see lenticulars forming around the summit of Vinson.  Low Camp is a great place to hold tight and be patient for this very reason.  No need to head uphill, build camp and suffer in the wind when we can hang tight down low, acclimatize and prepare for the move.

The team is in great spirits and we will look forward to hearing an update tomorrow and the plan for the coming days.

All is well on Vinson!
