December 8, 2003. Moving up from Plaza Argentina to Camp one. The Polish Glacier looms above. Two days later after carrying loads to camp two, just below the glacier, a storm moved in and conditions were that we were tent bound for two days. The winds became the major issue destroying several tents at basecamp. Including several owned by mule operators. William Marler, Nikon Cool Pics 5000.

Hasn't voted | Thanks Craig. Yes I just got back last week. Just in time for a big snowstorm at home. Somehow I have a higher tolerance for snow on a mountain than in my own back yard. Have a happy holiday season. Cheers William | | Posted Dec 23, 2003 3:17 pm |
