Camp 1 7,800ft

Dave Ahrens(lead guide) just called moments ago from Camp 1.  Today they carried a load of food, fuel, and some extra gear up to Kahiltna Pass at around 10,000 ft.   They got into a bit of wind and snow up a bit higher, but it was otherwise a pretty good day.   Tomorrow they plan to move up to the 11,000 ft camp.    Everyone on the team did great today, and they'll be eating pasta with sausage for dinner tonight.  No glass of wine to go with it, but a pretty good meal on the glacier.
