Chantel called at 9:00 pm on June 15th with this dispatch:
“Hey! This is Chantel calling with an update. This is officially day four of Team 7’s West Buttress Expedition, so we’re a little behind, but we flew into base camp today about noon. We plan to do a 1am start and hopefully get out of camp by 3am to head to Camp 1. Most people had a chance to talk on their cell phones today, so there are no messages yet. It’s nice to finally get the expedition underway. Ok, that’s it. Talk to you later.”
