Chris called in high spirits from 14k. The team carried loads up to 16,400′, traveling up the fixed lines and moving up along the ridge. Chris wanted to carry higher, but he reported that carrying sleds on the backpack when the winds were blowing hard made for a lot of work. Most expeditions cache their sleds at 11k, but because the expedition involves traversing Denali they need their sleds for carrying gear on the north side.
