Praying Denali gives you a shot. Amazingly proud of all of you! Hang in there and embrace the boredom you’ll be back in the chaos soon enough.
Onward and upward!

Hi Mikayla. Your mom told me how cold it is and now you have snow in your tent. Brrrr. Did you go to The Edge of the World? Just saying that out loud is a lot scary, especially looking over the Valley of Death. You are a very strong and brave woman and you will have no trouble reaching the top. Make some great memories. We love you . Be safe and stay warm..

Hang in there, Mikayla and team! I’m sure the wait will be worth it. Also my favorite flavor of bowline is the double where you get to make the knot eat itself.
