Nido -- 18,100 ft

We have reached Nido de Condores after a 7 hour slog uphill. It is just a little windy here--we can barely stand upright outside but we are now safely tucked into our tents for the night. We've had lots of snow and the trail was icy on our way up.The current forecast is for lighter winds on Thursday and so the plan remains firm for a summit attempt then. We're doing great and will continue to keep you posted.

Special shout-out to Regena: "Jimmy had the heart of an ox today!"
