They passed the phone around for the whole team to get a chance to say hello. Sean McManamy starts out the call saying they are all doing good at Camp 1 after a “spicy” day of glacier travel yesterday. They were able to navigate the worst of the crevassed areas on the lower part of the Kahiltna glacier yesterday without incident, but it was a bit of work for the guides to find a route. They had more snow and even rain last night and this morning, there is still a low pressure system to the south of the range pumping warm, moist air into the mountains today.
Here’s the phone call. The satellite signal goes in and out a bit, but you’ll get the idea.
