Mt. McKinley: Upper West Rib Team Weathers Another Day
June 15, 2014 - 11:26 pm PT
We awoke this morning to blue skies and our excitement spiked. Unfortunately it quickly became apparent that this was only a trap door, the forecast is still looking poor for the next few days. We decided to stay put here at 14 camp, and by early afternoon the clouds and snow were back. The team is beginning to become discouraged and there is talk of heading down hill without a better weather forecast. That's all for now.

However this all plays out, we know you have done everything under your control and to the best of your abilities. Hopefully Mother Nature will have a change of heart and send some weather improvements and conditions in your favor. Keep the faith and stay strong.

Hey guys sorry to hear that.
Although this fickle weather, I hope you have enjoyed your time. Though you haven’t been able to continue up the slope, don’t be disappointed. After all, it isn’t your fault. At least you have explored the unknown and have met your challenge. Do only what’s safe, you’re in our thoughts and prayers.
Love you Jesse

Hey Team, sorry to hear that the weather is misbehaving. I know that you have all put lots of time and effort into this adventure. Just remember that you are experiencing something incredible, both physically and emotionally. Sending some SoCal sunshine your way so the quest can continue.
