I heard from Zach about an hour and a half ago. They didn't move up today, as it was pretty blustery this morning. Wind, swirling snow and low visibility dominated much of the day, so they sat tight in their tents. The weather seemed to have blown through and conditions improved a lot in the afternoon.
The team has plenty of food and fuel, so they decided to take an additional rest/acclimatization day in preparation for the big push up and over Denali Pass. they need about three good days to push up and over the Pass in order to descend to high camp on the West Buttress.
Zach reports that everyone is doing well, but it was a cold day, with windchills in the -20s. It sounds like a great day to stay snuggled up in a sleeping bag, which they all did.
