FINISHING THEIR CLIMB:
Mike Hamill's Team returned from base camp after a 3 day weather delay at base camp. They did a good job patiently awaiting the weather out there on the glacier. They are happy to be back in Talkeetna and are currently enjoying fresh fruit, green leaves and warmer temperatures.

| The AMS June 11 Hamill Team quickly unloaded the van here at AMS. |

The 6 Day Mountaineering Course remains on the Eldridge Glacier, the weather is still cloudy there. Instructor Josh Hoeshen called in earlier today saying that is was not yet flyable and he will be in touch directly with the air taxi when it looks good. We have our fingers crossed for clearing weather!
