11:35am Update:
Around 11:35am pacific time, Jason and Brent set out for their summit bid!
Per the inReach communications, multiple other teams had been getting ready to leave around the same time. They expect the trip to take around 12 hours, but it could be longer depending on what weather conditions they encounter. Keep your eyes open for updates!

They made it back to camp. Jason stated they were feeling “utterly exhausted”, happy and accomplished, and ready to get off the cold mountain. They will probably sleep in today and then likely begin their descent.
