The team carried all of their gear from Camp 1 (7,800 ft / 2,377 m) to Camp 2 today in a single push up Ski Hill. It was a big move day with heavy packs and sleds, but everyone arrived feeling strong and accomplished.

They’re now settled in at 9,800 ft (2,987 m), with tents up and dinner cooking. After a quick recovery tonight, the team will shift into a normal day-to-day climbing rhythm starting tomorrow, moving higher with lighter loads and caching gear along the way.

Conditions are good, spirits are high, and the views are already starting to open up. Stay tuned for more updates as the crew continues their journey up the West Buttress! Tap below to hear the live update from the team:
