We woke up and fired up the stoves early again today, hopeful for good climbing weather. But the clouds that were lingering above us at 4:30am have descended and engulfed the Denali, including our camp. We are currently back in our tents staying warm and dry. There is near zero visibility with light winds and precipitation and high humidity. Unless things turn around quickly, we'll chalk today up as another day to rest and acclimate. We're hoping for improving conditions the next couple of days.

I have performed a sun dance. I’m not promising anything, but if the weather gets good I do want credit.
Good luck lads!!

Apparently the mountain gods thought you guys were moving too quickly. Stay warm. Here’s hoping the weather clears for you soon. We’ll be following along…

Friday is still looking GREAT. Lowest winds and warmest for many days in either direction. You will need to get up early to beat rush hour on the Autobahn. Rest well!
