Hi everybody, it's Todd. We're at High Camp on Gunnbjornsfjeld at about 2900 meters. Everything's great. John just did a ski run down. The weather finally broke: It's beautiful and sunny right now and calm. We've dug in our tents and [are] preparing for the night.
The mountain looks great. We hauled sleds up, which is a lot, a lot, of hard work. The snow conditions are pretty good. You know, we're breaking through a crust of about four or five inches. And so [we] should be able to get up to the base of the mountain tomorrow morning and do the climb.
It really is a beautiful day. Wally's out cooking right now, and we're looking forward to a great climb. So we'll talk to you tomorrow. Bye-bye.
