Mt. Shinn, Antarctica
Received an exciting call last evening from Mike Hamill and team from HIGH CAMP on Vinson. Mike said the team performed well on this big move day. That’s a big deal. Weather was very good and the forecast now appears good for today. If that holds true, the team should be making their summit attempt right now. IMG’s team was and is the only group to make it to high camp yesterday.  There are a couple of ALE staff with them currently at high camp. They are the first guided team to be making a summit attempt this season.
Wish them luck. It’s game time.
