Hey this is Erik Barnes with the Dozy Bonkers on Denali. Just wanted to call and say since the last update we've moved to camp 2 on quite snowy conditions and pretty white-out, zero visibility. The team is actually feeling really strong and are in high spirits and we are definitely looking forward to more zero vis days.

"The team is extremely unified and has pulled together once more for a great camp and definitely a chill posh...."

I also want to mention that the team is extremely unified and has pulled together once more for a great camp and definitely a chill posh that we've been hanging out tonight underneath some snowy conditions. Tomorrow we'll be attempting to move to camp 3 in a single push, of course barring weather.

Actually I want to send out some personal messages here. Tom sends his love to his wife, sis, Brad and the boy, also the family and friends who are following the trip so far. Denali is exceeding all expectation, great guides and trip so far. Right on. Shane has passed me on a message too. Just want to tell you Joleen that I love her, miss her and am thinking about her. Also want to say hello to mom, dad, Becky, Stephenie, Virgil and Maggie. And Rodrigo wants to pass on a message to Susie that he loves her. So anyway this is the Dozy Bonkers and we're heading to the top. So we'll talk to you later Bye.
