As I previously wrote, we knew a change was ahead for the weather and it arrived last night.
The good news is the temperature warmed to above zero but it came as a result of clouds and winds.
So we are taking another day at Low Camp. The other two teams went up yesterday but we don’t know if they summited.
So, > the waiting game begins – could be hours; could be days.
In the meantime here are a couple of pictures from the last few days.
Climb On!

5 thoughts on “The Antarctica Waiting Game Begins”
I just wanted you to know that i have just read about your climbs, and i am so excited to be able to donate on your climbs. My mother died of Alzheimer’s also. I so greatly admire what you are doing, not only for your contributions to Alzheimer’s research, but also for your fortitude and strength. I will pray for you and your team daily and keep updated. I can’t climb mountains, but i want to help in any way that i can. I wish that i could give you a big hug. I also posted about your climbs on my SU site and also on facebook, to keep updated. Please, please exercise great care, and I know that angels are watching over you and your mom and aunts are smiling from heaven
You know how to be and wait for the right weather window Alan. Just “chill out” (easy to do in Antarctica, I suppose), then be ready to rock ‘n’ roll when the weather gods smile upon you.
Thank you, Cathy!

Wait and see then Climb On!
Thanks Cathy + thx Alan for the photos and comments, moral support – hang in there, and enjoy the trip (and as always climb high, and come home safely)
