Hi Rodrigo

i red about the poor weather conditions you had to deal with during the weekend. According to my information that poor weather should be confined to the lowest 5/6000 meter of the mountain. At higher levels the sky should be mostly clear but from there wind starts to blow pretty hard. So i hope you guys are careful and don’t take any unnecessary risks.
Anyway, take care and be safe. Marc.
