Brecht texted in the wee hours of this morning:

"Another great day! We're out of the icefall and more than 20 kilometres covered. Enjoying the sun in the camp!"

Could it get any better than this?

It appears that our Greenland West to East traverse team is progressing well again today. The weather and terrain continue to be pleasantly cooperative during these early days of this expedition.

Pierre, Olivier and José-Luis have quickly established a strong cadence under Brecht's leadership. Their efficiency and disciplined progress are already serving them well. It's simply a grand start to an ambitious expedition.
