Dan Zokaites reports that the team was able to spot a landing zone at about 11,500 feet and set down there in the Bell 212 helicopter.\u00c2\u00a0 They took a recon hike after that to get the lay of the land, and then today they have pushed up a thousand feet higher.\u00c2\u00a0 Dan reports it was thick brush and they really had to fight their way up the flanks of Puncak Mandala until they reached the timberline where they are putting their high camp.\u00c2\u00a0 Above here it is mainly slabby rock and the route looks like it will go. We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be waiting to hear how they do on their summit bid.\u00c2\u00a0 Hopefully the mountain says yes!<\/p>\n
