Still storm bound...

In a short weather window yesterday, we ventured down the Ruth glacier to check out other possible objectives for when the weather clears.

Conditions are still very snowy. Over 1 metre fell at Khiltna base camp and at the Root Canal Camp. Here we've had about 2ft over the last few days

Teams in the Root Canal were flown out by Paul, because it was too dangerous to return to the Ruth Gorge.

It's still snowing here now and we are just biding our time, fending off the boredom with the hope of climbing soon...

The weather forecast suggests a slight improvement over the next three days so fingers firmly crossed.

Matt and Johnny have been doing P90X workouts with Coleman 1gallon fuel cans as dumbells.
