Hi, my name is Fran Orio from Adventure Network and Mount Vinson Base Camp in Antarctica. A message from Willi Prittie who is leading the Alpine Ascents International group of Mount Vinson. This is as of 14 December: they have climbed up to Camp II spent...[Unintelligible]...due to storms and blowing snow. Winds have died down and they enjoyed a good breakfast of scrambled egg and various other...[Unintelligible]...in the tent. Providing the weather and snow conditions are good today, the 15th of December, and it is safe to do so, they'll make an ascent to Camp III from where then they'll go on to the summit — weather permitting — after a day. Thank you, bye.
—Fran Orio, Adventure Network International
