IL76 at the Airport in Punta Arenas, Chile (Greg Vernovage)
Greg got off one last email before heading to the airport in Punta Arenas this morning. It’s a GO! On their way and right on time.
“We got the call that it is time to go! One last shower to wake up and down to the lobby to catch a ride to the airport for our flight to Union Glacier. This is great news, we are still on schedule and will be looking forward to getting to the ice and checking the possibility of hoping the next flight on the twin otter over to Vinson Base Camp.
This Team is great! Packing, weighing and loading has been a team effort and everyone is pitching in. Once we are on the mountain, it is important that everyone look after each other and pitch in when the it’s comes to work around camp. When everyone works as a team, the climb is fun and easier for everyone.”  Greg Vernovage
