Denali 2022: Dude, Where is My Sled Looks to Summit

Hey everybody this is Steven with Team Dude, Where is My Sled? We’re still at 17 camp. This morning was cold and windy and snowy. We decided to take a weather day and rest here at 17, nice breakfast of bacon and cheese bagels and kinda waiting out the weather. Luckily it improved in the afternoon. So we were able to get out and move around and still swing walls to really get out our tents to fortify our camp here and it’s beautiful weather now. So we’re not gonna get faked out again we’re hoping to climb tomorrow. So going to bed and action packed and hope we get a chance to climb! we’ll let you know how it goes.
