AAI lead guide Quino Gonzalez called in late last night to report Team 4 has made it to Camp 2!

Team 4 moved from Camp 1 to Camp 2 during the day. Everyone is doing really well. They were in the kitchen tent, eating dinner and getting ready for bed when Quino called.

The weather is looking good, a little windy with a high pressure system moving in for the next few days. Tomorrow (5/26), Team 4 plans to retrieve their cache and bring it back up to Camp 2.
