\n\t\t\t\tCustom Team 4 led by Timm Phillips about to board the Otter aircraft – equipped with ski landing gear – at the airport in Talkeetna.\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl>
\n\t\t<\/div>\n\nTeams 1 (Swanson) and 2 (Bond) successfully completed a carry day from 14K Camp to a cache spot on 16K Ridge. Now, as a weather system passes over Denali, they are nestled in at 14K Camp, knowing they have set themselves up for success higher on the mountain. Activities during storms involve maintaining camp (lots of shoveling), napping, snacking, and the occasional game of cards! All the while our climbers continue to acclimatize in preparation for better weather and the opportunity to move higher on the mountain. Lower down, Team 3 led by Peter Dale has arrived at Kahiltna International Airport – the only international airport on a glacier! They will begin their ascent in the coming hours once sleds are rigged and snowshoes are strapped, heading towards their first camp at approximately 7,600 feet. Not far behind is our custom climb Team 4 led by Timm Phillips, who will be following close behind Team 3. All is well on Denali – we are eager for better weather to prevail and for our teams to continue moving up the great mountain!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
