After a travel day to 11,000′ Camp yesterday, Team 1 is taking a well-deserved rest. Rest days on the mountain can look a lot of different ways, but common activities are card games, watching a pre-downloaded movie or episode of a tv show, or chatting with teammates and strengthening the group bond!
Team 2 still hasn’t hit on a good window to fly onto the mountain, but Talkeetna is a beautiful place to wait. They’re hanging out, eating good food, and waiting for the moment they can get on the plane and head to the glacier to begin their climb!
