AAI lead guide Tad McCrea called in from Camp 1 (7,800ft). The team successfully cached below Camp 2 (11,200ft) yesterday. They enjoyed a delicious meal of beef brisket and mac and cheese made by AAI guide Jared Drapala. A good meal to fuel up for the move to Camp 2 (11,200ft) today! Everyone is looking forward to a good sleep.
