One from Team Uhuru Summits


Latest update from Team Uhuru.  This is written from Brad K, the only team member to summit:

"So yesterday evening we woke up at 10:10pm. We started the climb at midnight. It was very windy and sub zero temps. It was so cold. Everyone was ok but it was miserable. It was about a ten mile hike up the mountain. It was disorienting at around 17 or 18000 feet. I was so happy to get up there and then get a few pictures and come down. Then just now we hiked down to about 12000 feet one more day on the mountain."

"Everyone is good. Zack got really cold and came down. Maine made it to about 17000 feet before turning around. Steph and Maribel didn't get that far. Russ stopped as well. I think the weather was a major deterrant."

Everyone is healthy and doing well.
