The June 11th team wasted no time— they flew onto the glacier today and already made the full move to Camp 1 (7,800 ft / 2,377 m). That’s mega mileage and vertical gain for day one, covering the classic haul from Basecamp (7,200 ft / 2,195 m) across the lower Kahiltna Glacier all in a single push.
A steady north wind kept the team cool, and spirits stayed high during their first official steps of the expedition. This is a quick ascent program, and they’re already hoping to make the move to Camp 2 (11,200 ft / 3,414 m) tomorrow — an early test of both pace and preparation.
The team sends a big hello to all their friends and family watching from home — we’ll talk to you more soon!
