Assistant Guide Patrick called in to give us the May 26th West Buttress Denali Expedition’s first audio dispatch of their trip! The team is resting at Camp 1 after moving there from Basecamp last night.  

Here is Patrick’s report: Audio Recording

It sounds like they are off to a great start, enjoying some tuna melts and the great views from Camp 1.

Nice work, May 26th Team! 

The team plans to cache tomorrow between Camp 1 and Camp 2. Stay tuned for an explainer on our “cache and carry” system for moving up the mountain in the May 26th Team’s next blog post!
