After a valiant attempt to beat the weather, Teams 1 (Swanson) and 2 (Bond) descended to Skill Hill Camp last night, and are now waiting at the base of the Kahiltna Glacier to fly off the mountain and back to Talkeetna. They are hoping to be back in Anchorage by tomorrow morning.
Teams 3 (Dale) and 4 (Phillips) are carrying to 13 Camp, with plans to ascend to 14 Camp tomorrow. Hopefully the wind stays at a safe speed over the next couple days.
Team 5, led by Garret Madison, has arrived in Anchorage today. This will be the last IMG team of the season, and we can’t wait to track their progress up the mountain!
