It was a picture-perfect day for a cache retrieval mission as the June 17th team set out under clear skies and calm conditions. The walk back to camp was smooth and scenic, with beautiful views stretching across the glacier.
During the return, the crew witnessed a stark reminder of the mountain’s unpredictability—another team lost control of a sled, which slid out of reach and disappeared into a nearby crevasse. Thankfully, no one was hurt, but it served as a powerful visual of what can happen when gear gets away on glacial terrain.
Our team remained safe and dialed, keeping everything locked in as they made it back to camp. Dinner was well-earned and delicious, and everyone is now tucked into their cozy tent setups, resting up for what’s ahead.
