View south from 17 Camp 40 (Eric Simonson)
With the Team 1,2,3 climbers all heading down now, it’s time for IMG Leader Nickel Wood and his Team 4 to step up to the plate. Today they moved from 14 Camp up to 17. Sounds like the weather is decent and they may take a shot at the top tomorrow.

The 17 Camp has a fantastic view, it is one of the all-time best. Down the Kahiltna to the south, past Foraker to the west, beyond the West Buttress to the tundra, where thousands of lakes reflect the late evening rays of the sun.
