Once upon a time in a land far far away,
7 Denali climbers were sleeping dreaming of the next day.
Before sun had risen they awoke to a rattle,
loud stoves were a burning, breakfast before the next battle.
They packed and readied getting out of warm beds,
The climbers excited for the next challenge ahead.
Folks started with cold toes up the steep mountain side,
But quickly warmed as legs churned and turned their tide.
Up the fixed lines to the climbers next cache,
They reached the spot, oh boy what a dash?!
Back down they went making truly great time.
Home for ramen dinner while the sun did still shine.
Now back in their tents, the days sure do fly by,
Dreams of the summit with hopes set sky high!
Farewell for now as guides need sleep too,
The team will check back tomorrow with updates for you!

Tell David that his coworkers miss him an appropriate amount; neither more or less than is approved by Human Resources. Stay safe out there!

Hoping your stockings are hung in attempt to dry out, with hopes of a summit near in your site! (That’s the best I could come up with).
