Lead guide Tad McCrea called in late last night to inform us that Team 1 has safely successfully made it to Camp 3 (14,200ft). The first section of the route had some pretty deep snow but another party broke trail and helped with the move. The team is in a great position now to start thinking about a High Camp strategy along with some well deserved rest days.
