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!

Matt,
Sounds like you guys are doing well! I read earlier that you guys ate salmon… just know that if you eat it on the mountain you can eat it off the mountain, lol. Daisy is pushing 20lbs already at 10 weeks. Starting puppy school on Monday, so hopefully I can regain some sanity and get some sleep.
Stay cool. Good luck up there!

Hello Tym and Team,
Great progress. Hard to imagine that heat is an issue. Bring on the sunscreen. Good luck with your push today for Camp 14!! Zeppelin, Zoolander, and Saxby wish everyone well, with a woof and meows.

RMI Guide JJ Justman calls in from Piedra Grande Hut in Mexico.
hey my love - Rogan - its your better half - all is good at home and rather cold. Hosting a boy from Westville and his name is Dean he is double the size of Robin and Andrew - big boy and yet he is U14C like Andrew - had a good supper and all relaxed and ready for bed - early start to the morning as the boys have to be at Pretoria before 8h00 - only going to get home around 16h30 Saturday… I have made arrangments for Jenna to say with Daphne for the day tomorrow as I do not see her wanting to stay at the rugby all day. Will hopefully get a call from you sometime Saturday - Robin will be with Shan so you will only be able to chat to Andrew and Jenna - I hope you guys are all doing well and heading up that mountain. Hopefully the weather is good for your guys—Keep going and be strong. Love you xxxx

Hey Rogz, all is well at home and rather cool this side of the world but nothing compares to what you are all experiencing. Going to fetch the boys this afternoon - Friday and then we have rugby the whole day Saturday - yippee for me and you know how I love RUGBY xxx Off to hospital Monday morning before 6 - wish me luck - all will be fine and I have sorted everything out for lifts too school and home again. Maybe I will get a chance to actually do some reading whilst I rest and get my knee sorted… Thinking of you. Love you and miss you lots - Take it easy and be careful please xxxx Wishing for blue skies for the rest of the trip so you guys can keep climbing xxx
