Hello again,
Today we enjoyed our well-deserved rest day! It started with a casual breakfast of hot drinks and blueberry pancakes. That's right folks, Our very own pancake house at 14,000'. With bellies full of pancakes, we then enjoyed lounging in our very hot tents. Letting the bodies recover and rest is Important for the big days we have in front of us. In the afternoon we fine-tuned some skills needed to go up the fixed lines and use running belays. The Team is ready and psyched to get one step closer to our goal of getting to the top and home safely.
Tomorrow, we will do our carry. Once we get the carry in, we Are in position to wait for our summit window. So once again wish us luck and send all the good weather vibes our way.

Blueberry pancakes on the high flanks of Denali sound like the best pancakes ever!
Looking forward to the update tomorrow, hope y’all made the carry to the high camp OK!
Sydni, you’re close now, you got this!
Everyone on the team, once again, stay safe and stay warm!
