AAI guide Angela Henderson called in earlier to report that Team 6 has successfully made it to Camp 2 (around 10,000ft). The team is making excellent progress and making a fast pace up the mountain.

Earlier today Team 6 made their cache near Windy Corner (about 13,700ft). All is looking well for Team 6 to make their approach to Camp 3 (14,300ft) hopefully tomorrow (Tuesday, 6/14/16).

We are looking forward to hearing the progress of Team 6, soon!
