Mt. McKinley: Billy Nugent and Team Resting at 14,200’

Wulp, here we are. Day three pinned down at 14,200' by winds up high on the buttress. Last night we weathered gusts in excess of 55mph but it hasn't trampled our spirits. The forecast is calling for a significant calming trend that looks like it might be our window for a summit attempt later this week. Anyhow, we've been enjoying the sun and are passing the day grazing in our tents. Tomorrow will certainly see some activity with the improving weather; most likely a carry to stock our high camp with some food and fuel. Wish us luck!

Hope the weather improves and you can keep climbing.
Drew, Delta misses you and ate Dad’s steak this week. She is clever. She pulled the steak out of the pyrex dish w/out even knocking it over. Poor Dad ended up w/ knockworst for dinner that had been in the freezer for 8 weeks. She is getting plenty of walks. Take care and enjoy!! Love you.
