AAI Team 5 is on the mountain and making their way to Camp 1 (7,800ft). After landing on the glacier late yesterday, the team moved during the night and early morning to the base of Ski Hill. The weather on the lower mountain has been great the last couple of days and the team hopes to place a cache at 10,00ft today/tonight. Everyone did very well on the move and is looking forward to the next move.
