The forward frame was taken up the mountain by Sierrita Mining and Ranching. After arriving at the Summit, it was removed from the flatbed using the FLWO crane.

On the previous day, the dummy mirror was loaded on the transport trailer and waits at the basecamp. It will be taken to the summit and installed in the mirror cell after Labor Day.

Images of the progress on the assembly of the cell, e.g. drive arcs, etc., are also included.
