Well, we woke up this morning to some okay visibility and we were very excited. We are quite prepared for today, we were prepared for the whole abseiling and just getting over this whole obstacles which we know’s been looming in the back of our minds the whole trip. But unfortunately, very very quickly visibility deteriorated. So much so that by the end of it was some of the worst that we’ve had really not beening able to see just any thing at all. I mean we could see each other and that was about it. And so we’re now literally, a couple of kilometres from the Fella Recchart Cerro Mayo but we started to encounter some crevasses and we couldn’t actually see them and very nearly went off the edge of a couple. So we decided that we would stop, we can’t really risk going any further forwards without some vague weather window. So we’re incredibly disheartened, bit of a depressing birthday in that respect. Realistically, with half rationing we’ve given ourselves somewhere around 14 more days to finish the trip. You know we could probably get a little bit further if we have too. But realistic we have 14 days of food left. Which gives us about a 3 day weather window here to get through this notoriously bad section and we’ve always known from the start that the weather here is terrible and it would dictate the trip whether it was a success of not. So we’re kind of fingers cross that we get a good enough weather window to be able to go over this whole section.

What else just happens, the video camera decided it doesn’t wanna work again. So unfortunately we’re trying to fix that so that we can actually do some filming when the time comes. Apart from that we are just try to catch up with some sleep. Nothing hugely exciting to report. A lot of whiteness! We’re quite tired and the bags are relatively dry. So we’re enjoying a little bit of a rest. And that’s about it really. So we’ll try and update you with some better and more interesting news tomorrow.
