May 9th team moves to Camp 2

The May 9th Team has made it to Camp 2 after a strong push today, and their plan is to back-carry their gear from their cache tomorrow.

We also want to share that Ben, a member of the team, had to leave the glacier. We’re glad to report that he is happy and healthy back in civilization.

Normally, I add some context around team progress to supplement the satellite recording, but this one really says it all. Spirits are high after a strong move up to Camp 2. Make sure to give this one a listen.

Here’s an amazing audio recording from the May 9th Team!
