We're still stuck here; it's been the worst day yet. All night we've been hammered by 40-knot winds. And the summit's nice and clear, but there's a big high pressure to the north that's causing all these winds—you can probably hear them in the background.

So, we hang again today, day five, and we'll see what tomorrow brings. The forecast hasn't been so great. This has been the worst year on Denali I've seen since '94. We'll give you an update later and see if the winds calm down. Bye.
