14,000 ft Camp

Joe Butler called last night on the satellite phone, the June 22nd team is doing great at Camp 3.  They were able to move up on Monday, and yesterday they went back down to 13,500ft to pick up the food and fuel that they had cached earlier.  They are moving right along, and have benefited from improving weather on Denali, and across Alaska.  They will spend at least 4 nights at this camp resting and acclimating before moving on up to high camp on the West Buttress at 17,200ft.  

This time of year on Denali it get's pretty quiet, but we've got 3 other Mt Trip groups at 14,ooo ft so they have plenty of company, and it sounds like they are all having a great time.   Yesterday was reported to be one of the nicest days of the season at 14k, sunny, warm, and no winds.
