The team continues to do well here at Denali's 11K Camp. We took an early jaunt down to our cache to get reunited with our extra snacks. Our trail breaking yesterday served us well and we cruised out and back with very good style. Once back, we took an "active rest day," building walls to fortify camp and reviewing some mountaineering techniques. If the weather holds, we will try to cache higher on the mountain tomorrow. Wish us luck!

Glad to hear you are progressing up the mountain safely! I’m also glad you can hear about Swiftey’s bladder issues from high altitudes! Be safe, we’re excited for you!

Hello Jason, Delighted to hear everything is going so well for you. The mountain is out here in Anchorage so we are connected across the miles by sight right now which always sends a prayer your way. Keep climbing brother! “Go forth and stand on the mountain before the Lord.” 1 Kings 19:11. Fr Joseph

Jay! We’re happy all is going well. Good luck, be safe and most of all have fun! Love you!
P.S. Swift has a bladder infection and that’s why he kept peeing when in the house. He’s actually not as dumb as we thought he was. Ha!
