Hey there, this is Sean. We're up at 17,000ft now and all of our crew is anxious and ready to go for the morning. Got a few people who are a little slow, of course, but altitude will do that. No major problems at all. Now I got some overcast skies and there's been a few people trickling in and out, up and down, from Denali pass today. One remarkable soloist who spent over 24 hours above 17,000ft walked down under his own power today—that's always encouraging to see that he didn't get hurt.
Again looking down on the Kahiltna Glacier, Foraker, Hunter, one of the most beautiful vistas in the world this side of Railei Beach. We'll give you a call from the summit, if everything goes well. And we'll keep you posted. You'll be the first to know. Take Care.
