They called in this afternoon again from 14k camp. The wind up high is still too strong to move on up. We have another group that is sitting at high camp right now, so they are able to call them on the radio and get updates on the winds. It is blowing 30mph + still at high camp, and even stronger winds above there. So, they'll wait another day... Patience is a big part of climbing these high mountains.
The crew has been entertaining themselves with camp games, like the javelin throw with a snow probe. Sounds like they are all in high spirits still, and eating very well. One thing the weather always does on Denali is change, it's just a matter of time.

Hi Des
Have you moved on to-day? Your trip sounds a bit more adventourous than my recent most enjoyable tour of the English Lake District.
Good luck to all of you,
Maeve
