Rest Day at 17,200 ft

The crew took a day to rest and acclimate today. They spent a few hours this afternoon digging in, and building walls with snow blocks to protect them from the wind. It was a bit windy today, not bad, but enought to encourage them to fortify their camp in case it picks up. This is a pretty common form of entertainment and exercise at high camp. They'll be watching the weather closely tomorrow (Tuesday) and hope to get a shot at the summit.
