The Barrels Day 1 (pt2)

The Barrels Day 1 (pt2)

This advanced base camp consists of about 12 large fuel barrels that sleep 6. We also have a kitchen hut. There are a couple of other groups with us. After we got settled, we put on our climbing gear and went crevasse hunting in 4 rope teams. I was the anchor (last) for our rope team that was lead by Vern Tejas. Jim was 3rd directly in front of me. Going was pretty easy. We crossed over a few deep crevasses and then ascended a 120ft wall at about a 45 degree angle. Circled back to base.
Lunch: salami, cheese bread, mini ritz, chocolate wafers, tea, hardboiled eggs.
Dinner: soup, mashed potatoes, chicken, bread.
