The team moved a load of equipment and supplies up to a cache site at 9800′. A three week Denali expedition requires a huge amount of supplies, and the process of caching helps the team move efficiently. In addition, it helps their bodies acclimate to the ever changing altitude. A cache site is literally a place where the team digs a huge, deep hole and buries bags of supplies. The guide team carefully marks the location of the site, and a couple of days later the team will return to pick up the cached items.
Here’s Lara with the team update:

I’ve told so many of my buddies what you are doing & they shake their heads in disbelief!! Something like what you are doing there are only a very, very small percentage of people on the face of the earth accomplish. So proud of you & excited for you on your remarkable voyage in life. Carry on!!
