Today we may very well have nailed it. Waking early for an extended weather viewing to establish any discernible trend, we left camp with reasonable visibility. The team did great as we broke trail up to the base of the fixed lines. We rested at the base of the lines as the weather slowly deteriorated and our friends from RMI 4 joined us in solidarity on a fitness walk. Once we were a big party and the cache was established, we descended back to 14 Camp for some rest before dinner. The winds and snow picked up nearly as soon as we got home and we are now poised to go to 17K once the weather allows. It has been pretty squirrelly in the weather department lately, but the team is hanging tough, waiting for our time to shine.

Cheryl - Looking at Denali National Park weather you should have good weather after about a day and I hope that is true. Also hope everything is going well for you. A lot of people are following you and your team’s progress and wishing for the best. Got your mail and checked on your place yesterday. Can’t wait to see you!
