In Talkeetna!

The team travelled thru the night last night and reached basecamp in time to fly out this morning.  They've showered, and begun eating way too much...  They'll spend a night in Talkeetna enjoying the slow return to civilization, and we'll bring them back to Anchorage tomorrow.

Congratulations to the guys.

Summit on the 4th of July

I talked to Chris Kerrick from high camp this morning and they were able to summit yesterday!  The team did great, and they had a beautiful day, with just a bit of winds.  

They were sleeping in a bit this morning, but planned to be heading down towards basecamp by noon or so.   They'll be to basecamp in just a couple of days, and then fly back to Talkeetna.   

Congratulations to all of the crew!

High Camp 17,200ft

Chris called from high camp today.  They were able to move up yesterday and made good time.  They were hoping to try for the summit as early as today, but the weather didn't cooperate, and they'll try again tomorrow.

Moving to 17,000 camp

The guys took a rest day yesterday after a lot of trailbreaking in their attempts to get over to the West Rib.  They did a bit of re organizing and will be heading up to the high camp on the West Buttress route today.
