Still camped at 14,600 feet.

Zach just called from 14,600 feet. They took a rest day today, as Maria's knee was swelling up from the big move up to camp and they decided it best to take a day to let her recuperate as much as possible. The plan is to punch as high as they can tomorrow and then try to make it over Denali Pass to our high camp at 17,200 feet.

The weather has been pretty good overall, with very mild snowfall recently and manageable temperatures. The team is doing great and has plenty of food and fuel left to make it over Denali Pass. Our South Side teams can help support them once they are over the Pass, which will alleviate some of the feeling of remoteness that I am sure they are currently experiencing.

They reiterated that they are having a blast and that the views each day have been amazing. I can't wait to see the photos!
