The team checked in tonight to report a successful carry and cache trip to about 10,500 feet. Travel on the Kahiltna Glacier has been superb, the best this guide team has ever seen. Apparently the weather was a bit snowy with some wind and cool temps on Wed.
Thur. will be another pretty strenuous day beginning with a long climb up Ski Hill then a series of steep sections with intermittent flats. The weather near Kahiltna Pass can be a real mixed bag. The pass is the low point along the divide in the Alaska Range. Any weather systems in the area force their way through at this point.
The plan for Thur. is to move camp to the 11,200 ft basin directly beneath the West Buttress.
Everyone is doing very well and wish to say hello to friends and loved ones back home. Stay tuned for an incoming Pod Cast from this crew in the near future.
Until next time...make it a great day!
