Well we didn't go for our carry after all. Even though we were up early and the day was beautiful. Over breakfast the decision was made to take a rest day instead. All are well, but we've been climbing hard and we are still relatively new to 14,000 ft... we'll bide our time. We did rope up and go for an enjoyable stroll to the "Edge of The World" to look straight down to the NE Fork of the Kahiltna Glacier and across to the West Rib of Denali. We posed for pictures and enjoyed the sunshine. The afternoon in camp was pretty peaceful -as we'd hoped would be the case. We chatted with teams descending the mountain and read our books and took our naps. At dinner, it was story night with each team member recounting some adventure, or misadventure for the group. Tomorrow we'll get back to climbing.
Best Regards,
RMI Guide Dave Hahn

Jim, You be the MAN! Onward and upward indeed. I’ll be toasting you- and missing you- at the Casino cocktail party this weekend. Meanwhile, a stiff Kraken rum drink awaits at the Martin Box. Your pal at sea level, Peter
