Summit rotation is underway!

The Madison Mountaineering Peak Lenin expedition team’s summit rotation is underway! Kicked off in the early morning hours, the team enjoyed climbing under clear starry skies which later turned into sunshine as they moved into Camp 2. With more good weather in the forecast, they’ll move on up to Camp 3 and get into position to go for the summit. Expedition leader, Terray Sylvester checks in with this dispatch from Peak Lenin:

Hello from Camp 2 (5300m/17,388ft)! We climbed here from Advance Base Camp (4400m/14,435ft) today under clear sunny skies. Tomorrow we’re planning to move to Camp 3 (6100m/20,013ft) as we aim for a summit bid on Peak Lenin (7134m/23,406ft) within the next few days. Our climbers are doing well. We’ll be in touch tomorrow!
