Lead Guide Andrew Yasso called in after a successful and exciting flight from K2 Aviation to Basecamp (7200′) . The team is resting on the Kahiltna Glacier after having set up camp, and being the first ones in for the morning, had camp to themselves! They were able to set up camp quickly and efficiently, showing great teamwork. A full and delicious meal of pasta, bread and brownies for dessert was enjoyed that evening. The plan is to move up the glacier to Camp 1 tomorrow after some glacier travel skills practice. The travel to Camp 1 is about 5 miles of mostly flat terrain with one downhill section on ‘Heartbreak Hill’.
