We overslept--again. We planned to get up and go about 6, but we woke up at 11. Oops. The light is hard to get used to here. Usually you can wake up at least when it gets light, but here it's always light, so it's hard to nail; there's no difference. We need to get out before the snow heats up... so, we have another sit-around day. Then we learned there is a nice little (or big) storm coming in. We could be here for days. This is what could take away our summit bid; a storm coming in and lasting for too long, which can be weeks. I think this trip, this expedition is a bit harder than Everest. It's much much different in every way, but harder in some ways. Just because of the waiting and lack of communication. At any time on Everest I could call home or have someone call home. Here, there is nothing. I can't call home, can't radio to someone to call home, we are secluded. It's just Johnny and Damian up in Alaska, cruising on a big time mountain.
