Mat called at 2:45 pm on June 17th with this dispatch:
“Hi! This is Mat calling for Team 7. We did a single carry to 9,500 feet today. It went very well and we set up Camp 1 for the night. It’s really beautiful right now. We’re a little behind schedule – maybe that should be our team name. Hopefully we’ll have great weather and won’t have any more hold ups. We’ll call again tomorrow. Everyone says hello.”
