Camp 1, 7,800 ft

Moving right along! They are in Camp 1 tonight after an early morning start today. This time of year it can get pretty warm on the lower glacier so teams often travel at night/early morning to avoid the heat and the softening snow conditions.

Durny (our lead guide) said it was perfect travelling conditions today with the new snow of the last few weeks covering the crevasses, and cold night time temps freezing things up. They arrived in camp 1 by 9 am today, so had a good long nap this afternoon and will get up early tomorrow and carry a load up the mountain again.
