Mike Pond called at June 3rd at 7pm PST with the following dispatch: Hi this is Mike Pond we have arrived on schedule to begin our climb. We are super psyched to be on the glacier. We will basically do skills review today and tomorrow and then basically we’re gonna go on a night schedule for traveling on the lower glaciers. Tomorrow night we will leave camp around midnight and finish up by about 6 or 7am each day. Today is pretty overcast and goes between being not so hot and very hot. Not much news to report.
