Jacob called this evening and said that the group tried to make a carry up the fixed lines today, but were thwarted when visibility dropped and increased snowfall made them call it short. they moved up the moderately steep snow slopes to the base of the headwall, but decided not to venture up the fixed lines. This area can be very challenging on a good, clear day, and the team decided that prudence was the better part of valor and dug their cache at about 15,600', just below the lines.
They descended and will take a rest day tomorrow before heading up to High Camp on Wednesday, weather permitting.
