From Base Camp to Camp 1

Team called in today at noon. They arrived at base camp around 6:30 pm last night via K2Aviation. They made their way up to Camp 1 @ 7,800 ft. last night arriving at 3am. They set up camp and made dinner by 4am. They plan on doing their moving up the mountain at night when the sun is lower on the horizon and the temps are cooler. Said it was beautiful and can see all the peaks around them. They'll call when they make it to the next camp.
