Team Fubar moved to Camp 1 at 7800′ today. The team took advantage of the cooler evening hours to move up the glacier, as the lower glacier can be very hot (!) during the heat of the day. It sounds like the team arrived at camp at 3 AM, and the plan is to rest and hydrate before continuing up the glacier. Everyone is doing well and enjoying lead guide Adam’s delicious mountain cooking.
A Mountain Trip team hikes toward Camp 1, during the 2013 season. W. Kahiltna Peak is the prominent peak with the shaded aspect at right. Denali looms above it, peaking through the clouds.
The team sends a special message to loved ones at home:
Hi guys great to hear about your progress. The choral ensemble could use some work so don’t give up the day jobs!! Happy Birthday to Kate
