IMG senior guide Dan Zokaites reports on the sat phone that the Carstensz team is getting loaded up right now to start hiking from Base Camp, on their homeward journey. Â They are shooting for a 4 day trek, but if necessary they can take a 5th day. Â Their porters all want to be back to Sugapa village in time to vote in the local elections coming up in a few days, so they are motivated to make it happen! Â Everyone is doing well and is looking forward to heading out. Â The weather has been great and the team are hoping it continues!
