Camp 1

John called this evening from Camp 1 at about 7,800 ft on the Kahiltna glacier. Cindy got to basecamp and her back was causing problems so she had to make the difficult decision to leave the trip.

Ian stayed in basecamp to see her off this morning while the rest of the team started the hard work of hauling gear up the glacier about 6 miles to the first camp. Ian will tie onto another team who is moving up tomorrow morning and rejoin the team.
