The June 9th team is resting at Kahiltna Pass Camp, perched at 9,800 ft (2,987 m) — a spot rarely used unless the weather is absolutely perfect, which tells you everything you need to know about today.
It’s gorgeous on the glacier. Hardly a cloud in the sky, stunning light across the peaks, and a quiet stillness that makes this camp feel sacred. Conditions like this don’t happen often, and the team is soaking it up.
They’re looking forward to making the move to Camp 2 (11,200 ft / 3,414 m) tomorrow — a steady climb up the broad upper Kahiltna Glacier and into the heart of the West Buttress route.
Everyone is sending love to their families and friends — and reminding you to have some fun out there, too.
