By now you may be tired of hearing about the First Ascent Team. They certainly don’t lack for publicity, that much is for sure. However, they are doing an excellent job of blogging and capturing video from their climb, which makes them a great resource for sharing what is going on on the mountain at any given time.
Take this video for instance, which has the support crew in BC talking about everything that is required to make sure the team is happy, comfortable, warm, and well fed. It puts into persecutive everything that goes into these expeditions, and reminds us all that these climbers are on the mountain for weeks at a time.
