[AM Dispatch] Team One is Heading Toward The Summit

[No RealAudio]

This is James Buratti for Patagonia Mountain Agency. I just got off the phone with Eric Brown at Advance Base Camp. He said the weather is good and Team One -- Jacek Maselko, Ryszard Pawlowski, Tadek Kudelski -- are proceeding to the summit. Jacek Maselko just radioed down from above the First Step while the team was taking a brief break. They started around 3:00 AM this morning. Summit time could be 4 to 6 hours from now - 12:45 - 2:45 AM EST.
