Snow has been pattering on the tent walls most of last night and all day today. It was an easy decision to sit tight, in the white world that we woke up in. We lingered over breakfast burritos, then spent the day reading, watching movies, stretching, and chatting. Camp was calm and quiet as everyone else did the same. The forecast looks like snow tails off and things get clear tomorrow so we are hoping to make our move to 11,00' Camp in the morning. All in all, everyone appreciated the rest day.

Good luck Pete and Brian Hill! All of Louisiana (and a small part of South Carolina) are hoping for a safe and successful climb!
Wishing you the best,
Andrew

If you want to go fast, go alone.
If you want to go far, go with a team.
God speed guys!
