Denali Expedition: Okita & Team Back Carry to 13,500’

May 29, 2016 - 11:50 p.m. PDT Awakening to wind buffeting the tents and spindrift everywhere kept us hunkered down in our bags later than usual this morning. When we finally ventured out at least the sun was out in all it's glory, which sure made up for the gusts and blowing snow. A quick breakfast of Pop Tarts and we all rallied from the tents to cut blocks for the wall around our Posh tent that we just didn't have time to build yesterday. Kind of reminiscent of our morning a few days ago at 11,200'. The team rocked the work we had to do to allow us to get our cool tent fully functioning, A second breakfast of grits and hot drinks fortified us to do our short back carry to pick up our cache at 13,500'. And now we're set. We have a carry up to 16,200' or higher planned for tomorrow, but if the weather doesn't let us we'll certainly enjoy a rest day. The weather forecasts look good for later this week. We'll keep our fingers crossed. Ciao from 14,200'. RMI Guides Brent Okita,Christina Dale, Chris Ebeling and an incredible team of climbers
