Greetings from 17,000’. Our team is at camp doing great and tucked into their sleeping bags with an absolutely beautiful evening here on Denali.
We are going to cross our fingers for good weather tomorrow and with any luck, we’re gonna give it a shot. So, wish us the best weather. Our team is doing great, very strong. Hopefully we will go take a shot at it tomorrow. So that is all from 17,000’. We are ready to launch…

All your hard work will pay off soon. So excited for the entire team but especially for you Eric, the Midwest flatlander who has always been fascinated with climbing things. Who would have guessed it would lead to this?? Hang in there and be safe. Love from Mom and Dad

Happy Birthday Dad! I was going to FedEx you a present, but the shipping was ridiculously expensive. Safe travels to the summit, and can’t wait to see you soon!

Great work team! Excited to hear about the trip when you get back. Don’t forget that when you take the flag picture you actually have to turn it around this time Eric. Best of Luck to everyone! Thoughts will be with you guys.

Bob - Happy Birthday!! Great day for a summit bid brother, my heart and spirit are with you, be strong and go for the top! A rousing chorus of “Happy Birthday to You” from your team would certainly be in order. Bet nobody really knows you are 75 years old today, see what climbing does for you…ha, ha.

Jake, your horoscope is a 9, so I figured today is the day: stay strong. Family sends positive vibes from across the country.
