Summit Attempt Aborted: 12/22/09

Well, I set out for the summit this morning. Unfortunately, I turned back toward Camp 2 after reaching about 20,000 feet, due to the weather. The winds were 40 mph at the beginning of the journey and they seemed to be getting worse. It is not a day I would consider safe for a summit attempt, so I am back at camp now. We will have to wait and see what tomorrow brings.
