Resting at 14,200'

I received a call from Eric at 14,200' this morning. The team woke up to 2 feet of new snow today. He said the guide team was wallowing through waist-deep snow to shovel all the new snow off the tents. The pole to their cook tent broke during the night under the weight of all this new snow. This is a small hurdle that the team will easily deal with.

The team is eating well and relaxing during their rest day today. They are all in good spirits as it has stopped snowing and they are starting to get views of the rest of the Alaska Range as the clouds are starting to part. We all hope this trend continues so the team can move up to 17,000' tomorrow.

We'll update everyone in the next few days as the team moves up to high camp.
