Carried to 10,400', back at 7,800'
Dave called in from 7,800' camp, the group carried a load of gear up the Kahiltna to 10,400' in preparation for their move to 11,000' camp tomorrow. As Dave says, it was splitter weather (climber lingo for a stable high pressure) and the views were as good as they get of the Kahiltna glacier. Splitter weather means intense sun in the early afternoon, so it is not common for parties to return to camp in hot temperatures. The team plans on getting up at 3am tomorrow morning to move to 11 camp, so if everything moves to schedule they should pull into 11 just as the heat picks up, just in time for the climbers to climb into their tents and drink some water while the guides work on dinner.
