They are finally getting some beautiful weather up on Denali and our team is putting it to good use. They carried a load of gear up to 16,400 ft today, climbing some of the steepest terrain of the West Buttress route. Again, they all did great today, but it is a pretty hard day and climbing at these altitudes is physically demanding. They are planning a rest day tomorrow to acclimate a bit more and be ready to make the move up to high camp at over 17,000 ft in just a few days.
Apparently there was some confusion about what day was Father's Day, so they wanted to make sure they got it covered today... Here's their recording from Camp 3 this evening.

We understand today was a hard day for the team but weather was with you and we suppose that views were more than rewarding.
ReplyDeleteTake a good rest tomorrow to be in a very good shape for the last parts of the journey.
Thanks for the message on fathers day !!
Gros bisous from Papa, BonPapa, Aude and Mamoune
I am following the ascent with admiration... Only 3920' to go! The last twenty feet probably being some of the most remembered in your life. I hope you are given the opportunity to summit and take those steps with reverence only to breathe in a very rarified air. Keep focused and determined and know we wish you and the team good health, weather and a bit of luck!
