Everyone is at Patriot Hills!

I received a long anticipated sat phone call from Eric yesterday. They were able to fly to Antarctica.

The weather had been pretty blustery for a long time, but the nice thing about weather is that it does change...

Eric reports that there is a pretty dense cloud layer over Patriot, that might stick around for a couple of days. As soon as they are able, the team will load up in a Twin Otter on skis and fly to Vinson Base Camp, on the Branscomb Glacier.

The guys are motivated and hungry to get climbing, so I anticipate that they won't need much of a window to push up the mountain.

I'll keep you posted.
