Summit push on Broad Peak soon!

The Madison Mountaineering Broad Peak expedition team is in position to make their summit push! The team has crawled into their tents for the night and looks to go for the summit soon, when the weather allows. Stay tuned for more updates to come from the Karakoram! Expedition leader, Terray Sylvester checks in with this brief dispatch from K2 Base Camp:

Hello again from K2 Base Camp (4968m/16,300ft)! Today our Broad Peak (8051m/26,414ft) climber moved to Camp 3, preparing for a summit push tonight or tomorrow night, weather dependent. Meanwhile our K2 (8611m/28,251ft) climbers spent an active rest day hiking on the Savoia Glacier by base camp. The team is well. We’ll be in touch tomorrow.
