Hey there MountainZoners, this is Matt Szundy reporting in from 14,200 on Denali. This is Alp 4, otherwise known as the Dozy Bonkers. We have enjoyed a beautiful rest day here at 14. It was quite cold last night, around 10 below, when we went to sleep. We put in a beautiful camp here in the basin and did a back carry this afternoon and went through some of our technical skills, fixed line skills and running belay skills, practice for the upper mountain.

Everybody here is very psyched. We are again enjoying great weather here at 14,2. We are looking at the upper headwall, watching lots of people climb it. We're going to make a carry tomorrow to 16,200 and descend back down to 14 and the next day, either a rest day or possibly move to high camp. So that's our schedule, everything's going great, people are very excited to be up here. And we'll touch base with you shortly. Take care.
