Alp 3 spent a rest day at 11 Camp changing their name to “Team Lawyers, Guns, and Money”

 

Hey everyone, it’s Seth here from Alp 3. We’ve changed our name and we’re now “Team Lawyers, Guns, and Money” (transmission cuts out briefly)… rest day here at 11,000 feet. We practiced some skills that we’ll use higher on the mountain and ate a lot of good food, built some wind walls, and played some cards.

Everyone’s doing really well. We just wanted to mention that Alp 2 is having trouble with their satellite phone. But they’re all doing well and they have their cache in at 13,500 feet.

So our plan is to do a carry tomorrow and everyone says “hello” to the folks back home and we hope they’re doing well. And we’ll talk to you later. Bye.

    Submission by Jess, Alaska Operations. When I touched down in Talkeetna this year, greeted by sunny skies and perfect weather, I couldn’t help but feel hopeful for a smoother forecast for Denali climbing season compared to the previous year’s relentlessly poor weather. Julia was clearly on the same wavelength because just a few weeks before, […]
