Lead guide Andrew Yasso called to let us know that the team made it to Camp 1 (7,800ft) beneath Ski Hill. They woke up to nice weather and packed up camp and made it through some variable conditions. Everyone is snuggled up in their sleeping bags after enjoying a nice meal and they will prepare to carry to 10,000ft tomorrow. ALSO, here is a photo of the crew before flying onto the glacier. 2 days late but it's good to see everyone nice and clean (they won't look the same in 3 weeks time).
