Team 1 and several other teams at High Camp began a summit attempt this morning. They were met with extremely high winds and a wind chill of -45f. The conditions have unfortunately caused the team to turn around. The team has begun their descent to Kahiltna Basecamp and will hopefully fly out tomorrow.
