Changing Weather on Denali...

Camp 3 during stormy weather.

The weather has changed from the beautiful blue skies that have been over the Alaska Range for the last few weeks. They are expecting some new snow in the next few days. This may slow the group down, but camp 3 (14,000ft) is the perfect place to spend a few extra days to acclimate. The usual schedule includes 4 nights at camp 3. The 14,000 ft camp is the social headquarters of Denali, typically occupied by up to 100 climbers waiting for a good window of weather to move up to High Camp and their summit attempt.

Stephan has recovered from his cold and has rejoined the group. Everyone is healthy and strong now and looking forward to the next big move up to High Camp at over 17,000 feet.
