Great job Jake! You are well prepared for what lies ahead! Wish we knew what color your coat is, it’s hard to pick you out in the photos! Love Mom

Congratulations Paul !!
You finally get to see the view from the 14,000 ft. camp. Pretty amazing, isn’t it. Sounds like the weather has been preety decent for you guys. I hope it stays that way so you don’t get stuck hunkering down at 14k or 17k.

John—good luck on the climb to the summit. We are all rooting for you down below in the low lands. Tyler left your truck at my house and I might use it a little bit to haul some garbage but don’t worry I’ll take good care of it.

John - We are thinking about you every day my good man. We have been reading the daily posts as a family and I showed the kids where you are at on the map. Looking forward to seeing your cheery face soon.

It would appear that you have a terrific team climbing with you this year. They need to know that they are in good hands. Your knowledge, understanding and skill on Denali is unprecedented. Your ability to transfer those traits and abilities to provide a great experience to us average climbers can not be acknowledged enough. Your ability to weigh risk and benefit to determine appropriate action or task is exceptional. I have enjoyed following your team so far. Looks like you have some significant weather coming at you over the next few days. Climb safe. JB 2012
