Dan called on in from Nasidome! All three flights made it in with all the gear. The Carstensz Team is doing great and are relieved to have preceded the rain clouds. They arrived in Nasidome this morning where the tents were already up. This is huge! With the constant threat of rain coming in, it is a great feeling to have the heli flight in under their belt.
They can now focus on trekking to Base Camp and climbing. The rest of the day will be spent organizing loads and eating. They flew in to about 12,000 feet at Nasidome so they key is to take it easy and not over exert themselves. Stay ahead of the altitude curve.
Tomorrow, the Team will pack up and take the hike up to Base Camp. Time to put on the mud boots!
Way to go Carstensz Pyramid Team!
