IMG guide Austin Shannon called in from high camp on Mt. Bona at 12,200 feet this afternoon at 3:30 pm Alaska Time. The team moved up to high camp today and were in the process of setting up camp. The weather was fair, with decent visibility and light snow during the day. All of the team is doing well and Austin reports that they are going to look for a favorable summit day starting tomorrow and will go for the summit on the first good day that presents itself. Austin wants to give the team the best options for summiting and they are in a very good position to do so right now.
Now they’ll wait to see what the mountain decides to give them in the way of weather.
