Guide Angela Seidling called on Monday May 28th at 10:50am PST with the following dispatch: Hey everybody it’s Angela from Team 3. We had a successful summit day yesterday. We summited at about 7pm. The Entire team made it to the top in some of the warmest calmest weather I’ve ever seen up here. It was a pretty awesome day. We all made it back to camp around midnight and had a late dinner. 


We are kind of having a lazy morning and eventually we will pack up camp here and head back down the mountain to camp 3 at 14,200 feet and maybe spend the night there or continue on, we’ll just see how we feel. Hello to everyone back home. We missed you all very much and look forward to talking to everyone soon.

Congratulations everyone! Drew our canoe trip was awesome, it rained 75% of the time. All the gear was solid though, and the tarp saved us. Love, Joseph and Tara.
