Against

1. The terrain – we may be through the worst of the crevasses, but the rivers and the lakes pose us further problems. It has taken us two days to get around a relatively small river system.

2. The pulks – cracks are appearing in everyone’s pulks, except mine :) can they take anymore of this?

3. The weather – it has been good to us so far, but…

4. The lack of snow – not only does this slow our pace (since we cannot use our skis), but we also cannot protect the tents from the winds.

5. It would be irresponsible of us to push on knowing that we will need to be rescued.
