Denali Expedition: Okita & Team - An Unexpected Carry

May 28, 2016 - 12:19 am PT Strong winds buffeted camp this morning to the extent that we actually cut snow blocks to form walls around our beloved Posh tent before having breakfast. That done, pancakes were the order of the morning as we looked on at the winds up high and wondered if we'd have any chance to make our carry today. Pancakes, hot drinks and lively conversation carried the morning, but our eyes kept track of the goings on up high. So when a significant downtrend in the winds was noticed, we rallied and went for it, albeit later than we would have liked to start off. Our carry to 13,500' went off perfectly, with everyone climbing really well. Let's hope tomorrow allows us some break in the winds. As I finish this dispatch the winds have calmed, so I'm optimistic on our getting to 15,300' tomorrow. But who knows? Your team at 11,200' camp, RMI Guides Brent, Christina and Chris
