“We got a white-out that kept us from going anywhere for a day. Then we had to hunt down a missing station. That took a few hours to locate because it had fallen into a crevasse.”
“One station down, then.”
“Amazingly enough, it got caught and we were able to fish it out. That ate some time too, though, and by the time we got to the descent it was starting to get late. Just as well we camped again. It was a nasty one.”
“Good thing you had food enough.”
“None too much extra, but we had plenty. Could have managed another night if we needed to.”
“Feels better not to run up against the edge there, though.”
“True enough.”
“Well, I’m on my way to catch up on sleep. I’ll see you all at the feast tomorrow.”
“See you, Dave.”
