Olympus is in the books for lead guide, Anna Hicks, and her team! They reached the summit yesterday in “glorious weather!” and spent an incredible night camped by the river, roasting marshmallows for s’mores over the fire (their second of two such nights!). It sounds like they earned it after a summit day that included a two hour adventure scouting and negotiating a sizable, uncooperative bergschrund. It did serve to make the rock pitch at the top all the sweeter. They are safely back at the trailhead and on their way home.
