Rob just called from Plaza Argentina (aka Base Camp). He said he slept *very well last night after a long haul down from Camp 2 with all of their gear. They are waiting for mules to arrive to carry their gear down the rest of the way. He reports that snow is falling and the wind is blowing and its pretty cold, but they are all glad to be avoiding this “whale” of a storm that’s blowing through. Rob has already made his travel arrangements and will be back in Texas by Saturday. Godspeed, Rob!
