Vinson Base Camp
IMG Senior Guide Jonathan Schrock checked in last night and again just now. The team arrived to Union Glacier with no issues and was informed that Vinson Base Camp was in a cloud and the team would be spending the night at Union Glacier. Early this morning Jonathan checked in to let us know the team was packing up and getting ready for flights and would be flying soon. The team is now at Vinson Base Camp and it is a great feeling! A ton of hard work has been put in already and having the team at Vinson Base Camp is great news!
They will set up camp and put together a plan to carry food and gear to Camp 1 in the morning. This is a great way to stretch the legs after all the flights and do a shake down of our climbing equipment. We are psyched to hear the team is on the mountain!
