Andrew called on Sunday the 13th at 3:18pm with the following update:
"Hey guys. This is Andrew again 2:20 local time. Since I last called, we just got word we are flying out. We split into two teams for two planes. The first one got loaded up started taxing down the runway but got called back because fog just rolled into basecamp. They can’t see the Kahiltna Icefall which is a key indicator of what pilots are going to see or not see. So we’re going to do a little more waiting. That’s the news."
