Rest day. Rest days at 14,000ft mean a slow start with little movement until the glorious sun illuminates our tents making for more hospitable temps. With the sun comes the wafting smell of hot blue berry pancakes that Nicole is frying up. That coupled with the need for hot coffee, pulls us from our warm bags and we step out into a day that can only be described as blue bird. After many rounds of coffee and pancakes, we gear up for a short walk to “The Edge of the World” an overlook just outside of camp with views some +6000’ down to the lower Kahiltna. This short excursion provides us with a chance to stretch our legs and begin to digest the loaf of bread each of us just consumed. The rest of the day is filled with more of its name sake as we prepare to move higher up on the mountain.

As Marv & I prepare for wedding today in Dallas,Texas - the scathing heat 35’C in the shade-makes me think of U all (nearly!) atop an icy cold mountain!
