Their three "firsts" include the North Piscinirea, the Nevada Angeles, which the group named themselves, and a third mountain that is still unnamed. The three mountains had been thought to be insurmountable. Glacial ice covered the peaks. It was necessary to chop steps in them and fix ropes from one step to another to climb them. The climbers worked in teams of two or three, one team going out for a day to prepare for a higher ascent, while the other team took care of the camp and supplies. A base supply camp was set up at about 10,000 feet, with higher camps established at 15,000 and 18,000 feet. The climbers shuttled back and forth between these camps as they worked their way up the mountain. Each member of the expedition was given a specific job to do. Dr. Hopponen feels that this teamwork was largely responsible for their success. The group began their plans and preparations a year in advance of the trip by corresponding with each other.
