IMG lead guide Porter McMichael let us know that the team had a smooth trip up to the “Low Camp” area (9100 ft) where they are now dug into a Denali style camp. They hauled sleds with them on this move, ascending the Branscomb Glacier which turns to the left up onto a shelf below the mountain.
They are taking a rest day currently and then it’s just a waiting game to pick the best weather window for the move up to the “High Camp” (12400 ft). We’ll keep you posted!
