It was a strong move into 14 Camp (14,200 ft / 4,328 m) today with great temps and favorable conditions on the route. After settling into the glacial basin beneath the towering Headwall, the team gathered in the cook tent for a well-earned pizza night — a true Denali luxury.
Looking ahead, the plan is for a long night of sleep and a full rest day tomorrow. The team will take time to recover, explore the famous 14 Camp viewpoint, and go through technical skills training in preparation for the climb between 14 and 17 Camp.
This section includes fixed lines up the Sheridan Headwall and a traverse to High Camp at 17,200 ft / 5,243 m — where the route narrows, steepens, and the summit strategy begins.
All is well. Weather is holding. Spirits are high. Stay tuned.
