Lead guide Tad McCrea called in to let us know that not only has the remainder of the team made it onto the mountain, but after arrival they quickly rigged sleds and marched up to Camp 1 (7,800ft)! They enjoyed a good meal and will plan to carry to 10,200ft and making a cache today. Happy to hear the whole team is together and climbing strongly.
