Mountain Trip guide Nick Nason with the June 15 Denali West Buttress expedition called in an update from Camp Two at 11,200′. The team spent yesterday caching up around Windy Corner at 13,500′ in a bit of a snowstorm. They returned to camp to warmer temperatures. If the weather permits they will likely move up to Camp Three at 14,200′ today and spend a couple of days acclimatizing and preparing for the upper mountain.
Unfortunately Nick cuts out a bit during the message, but listen below for his call:
Wishing you all the best for the summit!
Fingers crossed for good weather and conditions rest of the way. Following with keen interest. Know it gets colder as you get higher. In contrast we’re looking at record near 100 degrees next couple of days in the Northeast. Take care!
