The team are on the continent and have made their way out to the mountain from Union Glacier on the Twin Otters on Ski and to begin their ascent.

Union Glacier is the main operational base with semi permanent facilities. The flight from UG out to Vinson Base Camp is absolutely stunning and reminder of just how remote this expedition is.

First step is a load carry to Camp 1 and retreat back to Base before moving up.

Just a reminder that communication on Vinson can be a few and far between but remember no news is good news. The team will call in on the sat phone sporadically to let us know how they are going.

Cheers
CTSS Team
