Moving to High Camp!

Durny called this morning as they were packing up to head on up to High Camp at 17,200 ft. It's a beautiful morning, and they are going to give it a go. The forecast is calling for some more wind and weather moving in, but it's just a weather guess. They'll get settled in a high camp, and hope for a good day to go for the summit.

Greg Nappi is with another Mt Trip group at Camp 2 (11,000 ft) as he apparently picked up the bug that Mike Heeley had that caused him to have to leave the trip. Greg is hoping to recover after another day or so, and get a chance to catch his team if they don't summit in the mean time.

    Oh wow, that is fantastic news! So pleased for you! Was thinking about you all yesterday and hoping that you were on you way up there. Let's hope the Gods of Denali favour you with more good conditions and that you're able to make your assault on the summit soonest! Will be thinking of you and following your progress avidly.

    Yahoo!!!!! High camp! Awesome guys! A big shout out to Jean-Mikael for carrying the Spot GPS and To Bill Allen for keeping everyone up to date on the team's progress. It's been exciting tracking the trek. May you all stay healthy, warm and cozy(remember Tim, spooning is o.k. but no forking) and may the forecast be with you. Good Luck. Lisa
