Annapurna IV

It won’t stop snowing, the Austrians have retreated and each day the mountain is slowly cleaning itself of the newfallen precipitation.

We are avalanche pros and know to stay off the peak…but smaller lower angled aspects around basecamp? Oh, you should check out the pics on the website!

We ventured out in a lull today and climbed up a 17,000′ unnamed peak a few miles from basecamp and fell in love with snow all over again. Amazing how just three weeks off from skiing makes it feel so new and exciting again. Today, even in the snow and epic weather we realized that we are some of the luckiest people in the world.

Hope everyone reading this has a day like that coming to them soon as well.We will let everyone know when we will start the climb, could be tomorrow. We’ll just see what the weather does, if it doesn’t agree, we’ll just ski some more!
