The walk up to camp at 11,200' was our easiest of the trip. Less than 3 hours of climbing with reasonable loads today was a very nice break for the team. Everyone was all smiles coming into camp just after noon. We even moved into a recently abandoned camp so we didn't have to work on building camp. Our cache is a mere 30 minute walk from here, so picking it up on our back carry tomorrow will be even easier. Which is perfect after all the hard work everyone has been doing. And of course, the Posh Tent remains the center of activity and social life for us here on the mountain.
That's all for now from camp at 11,200.'

Hello Dawn and team,
It’s great to hear the weather is cooperating and you are making steady progress upward. You are in great hands with Brent! I can’t help but think of his stories last year when we were all together on Rainier!
Wishing you all the best from the not so great mountaineering province of Prince Edward Island, Canada.
I’ll be back in Canmore, Alberta next week and back into the Canadian rockies climbing away dreaming of bigger peakes like Denali !
