Finally on the Glacier

The team sat for a few days in Talkeetna waiting for the weather to clear so they could fly into basecamp. I'm guessing that all of you heard from your freinds/loved ones while they were learning the game of waiting for the weather on Denali. They flew in, and moved right on up to camp 1 (7,800ft) on the first night. When the weather did clear, the sun came out and the daytime temps were warm enough to force the team into moving only during the night, and early morning. They do this to avoid the heat of the day, as well as to travel when the snow bridges covering the crevasses are frozen.
