Denali Expedition: Jones & Team Prepared to Move to 17K Camp

Elevation: 14,200'
The team was on standby this morning to potentially move up to 17K camp. But the early morning "now forecast" looking out of the tent wasn't as good as we were hoping for with snow and building clouds that ended up developing all day. We once again got to spend the day at 14K camp preparing the rest of our gear to go up to 17 and stretching our legs. Tomorrow morning we hope to move up and that the forecast holds true for a summit bid in the next few days! Stay tuned!

TJ,
Are you trying to beat our number of days at 14 camp from 2014? Too bad you dont have Old Trapper up there with you to provide entertainment.
Wish I was up there with you guys. Stay motivated guys. It took us 23 days, but we made it.
