They are in good company at this camp right now, we have 2 other Mountain Trip groups there right now, as well as lots of other teams. They'll probably be obsessing over the weather forecasts, but we like to say that the forecast is for entertainment purposes only, and not a decision making tool. The forecast is posted on a board next to the Park Services tents, and climbers watch it constantly as if they could wish the weather away if they just try hard enough.

A Snowy Day on Denali...
The team had a well deserved rest today, after moving up to 14,200 ft yesterday. They were definitely feeling the altitude last night, with some headaches and some people not feeling that great. That's pretty common for the first night at that altitude, and they are all feeling much better after a bit of rest and acclimatization. It was a stormy and snowy day on Denali today, so it wasn't a bad day for a rest
