IMG leader Audrey Simonson reported that the team had a nice hike up to Barafu Camp (15,000 ft) today, and then spent the afternoon resting, eating, and hydrating.

They are planning to get up at 11PM and be on the trail by midnight! Summit Day is a big push, but the team has done the work to put themselves in position to be successful.  They are well acclimatized and have stayed healthy, so fingers crossed for a nice day tomorrow, and a safe climb to the summit and descent!
