Lead guide Matt Park updates us from Camp 3 yesterday. After summiting, the team returned to High Camp and tucked in for the night. This morning they woke up, packed up camp, and descended back to Camp 3. They set up a temporary stay in Camp 3 and took some time for a much needed rest. After a snack, the team will take the night to descend from Camp 3 at 14,200′ (4328m) all the way to Basecamp at 7,200′ (2194m), and hope by morning they will have arrived and can wait for a plane ride back to Talkeetna (348′ 106m) where they will breath in that almost sea level air and touch the grass and hear birds chirp once again.
Happy Birthday to Matt’s Mom!
