Day 3 for Team 3.  In true alpine form, the team woke up really early around 3am to take advantage of the  re-crusted over snow surface from the cool night temperatures. The team moved across the Kahiltna glacier past Mt. Frances and Mt. Crosson, taking hourly breaks for food and hydration along the way. They arrived at Camp 1 around 1pm in the afternoon with everyone feeling great. They enjoyed Middle Eastern Supreme for dinner and tucked into bed early.
