They are planning to get up at 11PM and be on the trail by midnight! Summit Day is a big push, but the team has done the work to put themselves in position to be successful. They are well acclimatized and have stayed healthy, so fingers crossed for a nice day tomorrow, and a safe climb to the summit and descent!
