The latest storm moved in slowly this morning. For a time we thought we might sneak in a carry, but it was not to be. Clouds and light, but persistent snow swallowed up the mountain. Luckily, there hasn’t been wind to accompany all the moisture. We stretched out breakfast and then everybody found a few chores to do outside, moving snow blocks around here and there. Most of the day, we did the Denali Hang, sitting in our tents - reading and napping. It was great to have RMI Guides Ben, Mike and Avery come out of the fog at midday with their successful summit teams. They set up camp not far away to wait out the snowy days. Miles and Jack prepared a big jambalaya pot of dinner to cap off a quiet day and the team ate every morsel in our now familiar dining tent.
