Climbing towards Camp 1.
Looks like Mike and team are off to a really good start. They left Punta Arenas yesterday morning and were able to fly on the IL 76 to the Union Glacier at about 80 degrees S. latitude. Then, it wasn’t long before they boarded another flight on one of the Twin Otters over to Vinson base camp. Mike left me a message last night saying that weather was good and that their plan was to move up to C1 today.
Just a great way to begin the expedition.
