The move to Mt. McKinley's high camp is like stepping into the ring with a heavy weight larger than King Kong. Thing is, he really likes to throw things at you in one long grueling round. That round our team won. It could not have been a more perfect day to come to high camp. Now the question becomes how much strength does the team have for round two which comes in the form of Godzilla. Tomorrow we will attempt to climb to the summit, weather permitting. Wish us well.

In the spirit of World Cup soccer…put it in the “ole onion bag”!!!
Germany advances to semis and meets Brazil 7/8 @ 4PM. I know a victorious climbing team will be watching the match :)

Well done to the team in achieving high camp and hope you can get some rest before the summit bid.
My forecast shows clear cold weather for tomorrow and not too windy. Wishing you all the best!
Pls tell Fatima Brazil is now into the semi finals after a 2:1 win over Columbia.
Go well, go strong and be careful!, Peter
