Nick left the following message last night. The collapse of the cook tent is one of the many hurdles that the team has faced or will have to face. When it snows with no wind, it is easy to sleep more soundly, as the soft "hisssss" of the falling snow is very relaxing. The lack of wind unfortunately allows the snow to pile evenly up all sides of our pyramid shaped cook tents with a single pole supporting the apex. With enough weight, the pole will eventually collapse or snap, leaving climbers with a good project to focus their energies on during the subsequent rest day!
I'm not sure what the "Pisco" references are in Nick's message... Maybe a coded message to his cat, of whom I've heard so much? Maybe this is a good time for a trivia contest? Whoever can email me the correct meaning of his references will win a limited edition, Drew Ludwig original, commemorative Mountain Trip T-shirt!!! I'll post the winner on the blog after conferring with Nick.
