A little bit of a tough one for us. We geared up and started climbing the "autobahn" toward Denali Pass. The team was handling the terrain well but a cold wind got going and our sense was that it was strengthening. We turned at 17,800ft and the wind died before we'd reached camp. It likely would have worked for climbing after all. We turned the day into a rest/acclimatization day and we'll give the summit another try tomorrow.
Best Regards,
RMI Guide Dave Hahn

You got this team! Praying for a good weather day for the second attempt. Dad, remember not to brush your hair with a wet wash cloth. Probably not the best idea on Denali. Love you!! -Becca
