Chad called May 30th at 5:15pm PST from Camp 1:

“Hey, it’s Chad calling.  Things are going well … we cached food and fuel at 10,000 feet today, somewhat below Kahiltna Pass.  Now we’re back at Camp 1 getting ready to eat our dinner of burritos.

“Everyone is looking really strong … it’s impressive.  The whole team is very fit.

“Tomorrow we head up to Camp 2 at 11,200 ft.

“Okay, gotta go!”
