Hi, it's Tom Bridge, I'm co-leading with Vernon. We pushed for the summit today. We left pretty late because there was an incredible storm, windy conditions this morning, probably around 45mph. We made it up through the Autobahn with everybody to Denali pass— an incredible vortex of winds, snow, whoa, just an amazing place. Then we split up and turned around and I went on with our strongest member Rob Broeren and we're up around 19,000ft right now, pretty late in the day.
Just checking in with you, letting you know what is going on. Don't know what is going to happen next, but we'll call back later. Vern went down with the other folks, they should be safely back at 17.2 by now.
Talk to you later, bye-bye.
