Mt. McKinley: Nugent & Team Carry to Windy Corner
Woke up today to splitter (blue) skies and warm temps! The original forecast was for a snowstorm to hit the range sometime today but it didn't appear that way to us this morning. The incorrect forecast was great news for us and we were able to push a load of supplies up around Windy Corner this afternoon. The crew made it back down to camp at 11,000' in time to soak up a bunch of afternoon sun. Needless to say our tans are coming along nicely with all of this good weather. Tomorrow, weather permitting, we plan on picking up camp and heading up to 14,000'.
The team is climbing great and in great spirits! Wish us luck on a big day tomorrow...

We are so proud of you all - constantly talking about what it must be like on the mountain. Bailey saw a white SUV go by this morning and almost ripped my arm off… but she is good and a happy camper - taking her to beach tomorrow. Anyway - enjoy every moment!!! Record as much as you can with you GoPro babe. Love you and Brandie ...

Wiza, I love you and I’m sooo proud of you. What an adventure you are on! I’m currently spending my days bragging about my big sister to anyone who will listen. Keep up the good work, and make sure to stop often and smell the roses. Um, I mean, smell the ice? Okay, forget the smelling part. Enjoy the epic views! XOXOXO, Emma

fresh update from a few mins ago: as planned, the team carried some gear to the cache spot at 13.5 yesterday and are breaking camp as this moment to make their move to camp 4 today…the weather is cooperating so far, keep your fingers-crossed!
