Team at Base Camp
The team left 11,000 feet this morning at 2:00 a.m. They hiked for six hours across the Kahiltna Glacier and got into Base Camp at 8:00 a.m. They set up a tent and slept for a few hours. They have all their gear ready in case they are able to fly out. The weather is marginal right now but the team is still hoping to fly off the mountain today. There are a lot of "walking wounded" - mainly some bad blisters. If they are able to fly out they will be taking the cold injury people off first. Jerry and the guy from India will be the first ones to go. I'll let you know when the team gets in to Talkeetna.
