Elevation: 14,200'

We're enjoying the thick air at Camp 4, at 14,200' in Genet Basin. We got a good night's sleep last night, slept in this morning and enjoyed a leisurely breakfast of bagels, cream cheese, and bacon. An ample coffee. Today we are resting and waiting for colder temps by which to travel. There is a weather front affecting Denali right now, bringing winds up high and clouds and precipitation down low. We're sitting in between in the sun and happy at 14k. Our hope is that we can travel through the night down the Kahiltna Glacier to the Basecamp Airstrip and that cloud and precip will dissipate tomorrow so that we can fly back to Talkeetna. We'll let you know how it goes.

I’m sure they’d rather celebrate with their new friends at Club 14 than rush home.

It’s too bad the weather is keeping you at Camp 4 longer than anticipated…
You do realize it’s going to mean no Karaoke Monday night at The Fairview, don’t you?
I guess you’ll just have to make up for it on your own…
Cheers all - good on you!

(PS: A special shout out to Mike Walter on a second 2019 Denali summit!)
