Team One Hopes for better weather tomorrow

 

Hey everyone, Denali Team one again. We’re having a Groundhog day here once again, but we had a nice day- wind was a little stronger today, so gave us a little more work to do digging out tents and making sure things don’t blow away. But, all in all another relaxing day! As we speak the winds are slightly dying down, less than they were this morning. We’re optimistic that tomorrow we might actually follow through on what we’ve been saying and actually climb the mountain! Only time will tell. Thats what we’re trying for! Check in again tomorrow.

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