Base Camp

The team made it to base camp this afternoon, but the weather has continued to work against them. The planes weren't able to fly into base camp this afternoon or evening due to the clouds and snow. They'll spend a night in the relative comfort of base camp, where the oxygen is plentiful and the air is warm.

They are hoping to fly out tomorrow morning and be in Anchorage for dinner time.

Mark Howard (who descended a few days early) was able to fly out yesterday and is on his way back to the UK already.

  2. Well done guys and congrats Joe! Too bad mother nature didn't cooperate. It was fun watching your progress on the blog and GPS tracking. Have a safe journey back to CCC.
