A report from lead guide Tad McCrea confirmed that Team 1 has made it to Camp 1 (7,800ft) at the base of Ski Hill. After landing at Base Camp Monday evening some interesting weather impeded the team’s original move. Now, they are enjoying sunny skies at Camp 1 and preparing to place a cache below Camp 2 (11,200ft) around 10,200ft today.
