Move to 11,000' camp

3pm brought a satellite phone call from Jacob at 11,000' camp, who reported an easy day's travel to get to 11 camp. They were still in the process of setting up camp in beautiful weather but by now they are in their tents waiting for Jacob and Nick to give the call for dinner.

"11 camp" is located in a smaller basin surrounded by icy ridges. Because it lies below the surrounding terrain 11 camp is relatively protected from higher winds aloft, but is also more likely to collect snowfall. Crevasses are everywhere at 11, but the guides have used a long metal probe to check under the camp area for any hidden slots. The weather above 11 is generally more windy, so our team will be waiting for a good weather window to carry loads up higher and work on their acclimatization.
