Our Denali team had another great day today as we carried supplies up to establish a cache around Windy Corner (~13,700'). The weather was perfect, with scattered clouds keeping the temps pleasant throughout the day. The climbing conditions we also perfect, with great, consistent névé for cramponing. In fact, the whole route so far has been in great shape.
Now we are back at our 11k camp, where we are lounging around, eating, and rehydrating. Tomorrow we are planning to take our first full rest day, as we need to recover and get used to the altitude before we move up to 14,200'

We are sure it’s ruff out there, but we are paw-sitive you two will succeed! (Dog puns are definitely intentional.)

Great to learn weather and climbing conditions were perfect Wednesday for establishing a cache around Windy corner.
Anything worth while showing at the local movie theater? ;) Either way, enjoy your rest day and keep smiling :)
