Denali Expedition: Jones and Team Wait Out the Weather with a Quesadilla Extravaganza
Posted by: Tyler Jones, Bryan Mazaika, Nick Scott
Categories: Expedition Dispatches Denali
Elevation: 14,200'
Today was another rest day with a top notch breakfast donated from our fellow RMI team Mike Walter who is currently on the way down to the airstrip. The breakfast quesadilla extravaganza started with snow and ended with heavy snow. We said good bye to Walter team and are looking forward to some training in the next few hours to dial in our technique for the next stage of our climb to carry supplies for our high camp. This will set the stage for our summit push when the weather allows. For now we will out chill the snow and let you know how our carry turns out tomorrow! We are wishing good luck to the Van Deventer and Hailes teams as they are pushing to high camp today for their summit bid!

Dave and team, thinking of you guys and hoping the weather clears and you get some clear, calm skies. Couldn’t quite see the mountain from the office, but had a great view of the sleeping lady this afternoon. Pray for us as we embark a hike to Thunderbird Falls with the kids on Sunday - 2 miles/100 feet elevation gain round trip.
Much love,
B

Matt Hill I hope that everything is going good and that the weather improves. It looks like you guys got hammered with snow on 6/7. Make it home safely. Best wishes.

Matt Hill, Randy and Mr. Lahey are sending you best wishes on a successful climb. Barb said she will have a hot apple pie ready when you get back!

Anyone have news of the Marra team? Four climbers. Think they arrived base camp June 2 or 3.

Glad to hear weather is improving, we have a State full of fourteeners with hardly any snow…..I know that far North is another world altogether.
Scott, I know the summit is yours this time, just keep climbing.
Best wishes and prayers to all of you!!!
