The team called in from the top of Antarctica! Ariana, Chuck, Jim and Jacob climbed up on a clear, but cold day, with expansive views from the best view on the continent.
A Mountain Trip team headed to the summit.
The team started out of High Camp and climbed a long stretch of gradually sloping glacier up to the base of the summit ridge. From this point, they climbed up through a large bowl and then up steeper slopes to gain the ridge itself. There are a couple of tricky moves to get onto the ridge and then spectacular climbing to the summit.
