Denali Expedition: Okita & Team Experience Squirrely Weather

May 24, 2017 Well, the weather has changed, and not for the best. Wind and snow intensified this morning, so much so that we postponed our departure to retrieve our cache from 10,000' for a bit to make sure a big storm didn't move in. But the weather held off enough for us to bring our cache back to camp. Now we're set. This continually amazes me. When we got back I thought we all deserved a break, figuring an hour or two of tent time to rest up would be most welcome, 20-30 minutes later I hear most everyone out cutting blocks to beef up the walls we already had. Impressive! We're sitting pretty now, ready for anything. Should tomorrow's weather preclude a carry to cache at 13,500', that would be just fine. Everyone has been working so hard and so well that some tent time is probably in order. Even, I am looking forward to a rest day soon. And we're all looking forward to some better weather. Our peek at the mountains surrounding us last night just made us want more. Oh, and in case you were wondering what was on the menu today. Scrambled eggs, hash browns and bacon for breakfast. An assortment of Indian food, served on a bed of rice and chicken, followed by a nice pudding for dessert. Mmm. That's it from 11,200' camp. Good night. RMI Guides Brent, Christina and JT

I did this route in Juky 1970 with Ray Genet. Good luck and be safe!
