Denali 2022: Donari Six Pack makes it to Camp 3

 

Hi friends, this is Don from Donari Six Pack. Today we had a big day we moved on all the way to camp at 11,200 feet and it took us about six hours again the team did really well today and everybody’s looking strong feeling well. We had another day it’s beautiful weather, some of the nicest warmest weather that I’ve seen up here in a few years and we are currently settled in to camp three here at 11,200. We’ve got a nice camp set up, we’re settled-in and we’ll be here for at least three nights maybe four and we’re looking forward to a first pseudo-rest day tomorrow. We need to go back down the hill and pick up a little bit of equipment but it should be a pretty short day we’re gonna sleep in tomorrow. Have a big breakfast and relax a little bit for the first time in a few days but everybody on the team is doing well and say hi to friends and family. We’ll talk to you tomorrow! Cheers

Julia was clearly on the same wavelength because just a few weeks before, […]
