Zach had a minor boot disaster as he was getting on the plane in Talkeetna on Sunday to fly into base camp. He had a zipper blow out on his fancy new La Sportiva Oly Mons boots, which makes them unusable. He was a bit stressed, but we were able to pick up a new pair of boots in Anchorage, and get them flown in to meet them the following day. Hopefully they've got their gear disaster behind them now.
Last night (monday) they called from 7,800ft on the Kahiltna and were hoping to carry their first loads of gear up the NE fork of the Kahiltna heading up to the base of the W. Rib today.
