Jeremy Allyn called at about 1:15 pm PST with this dispatch:
“Hey, it’s Jeremy… We are digging our cache hole at about 10,500 feet, just below Kahiltna Pass. We sledded some food and fuel up from 7800′ under mostly clear skies, a super nice day, really. Made it up here in about four hours. We were pretty surprised that the morning dawned clear … we had 3 inches of snow yesterday moving to Camp 1 and over last night.
“So back to Camp 1 this afternoon … already looking forward to Mediterranean Cous-cous. Then we’ll move up to Camp 2 at 11,200 tomorrow.
“Andrew Yasso is with us … he had taken Michael, Carol, and David from his team back to the airstrip … he hitched a ride with us today and is hitching on with another team now to rejoin his group at 14.
“Gotta go. Take Care.”
