At 10.41 p.m Jason left 8989ft. as it had stopped snowing so he moved his food and supplies up the mountain. He spent a grueling 6 hours in knee-deep freezing snow. He then left 10,325ft. and headed back down the mountain due to heavy snow. He will now continue trekking up the mountain through the night as there are less chances of avalanches and crevasses.

Message from Jason to family ” in good health and feeling strong. Bad snow and weather conditions , slight delay , love to all “
