Hey this is Jesse Williams here with the Alpine Ascents Denali expedition #7, the Magnificent Seven.
Today is day three of our expedition. Yesterday we opted for the single carry to the base of Ski Hill, hoping to only go over the lower glacier once. Got up early, worked the night shift and got to good camp yesterday morning.

Today, day three, we carried up to a cache here at about 10,200 feet; just made our cache here in mostly whiteout conditions, we get a nice view now and again. Everybody is feeling good. We're looking forward to moving up to, or past, our cache tomorrow.
I'd just like to say hi to friends and family. Cathy would like to say hi to her sons, Jeffie and Jed. Happy Birthday to Nick and her dad. Like to say hi to Ania and Zoe, those are Damon's family. And Cathy would also like to say Go Lakers.
And that's it for today, we'll check in again tomorrow. Thanks, bye.
