Denali Team 5: May 29 – June 18
Guides: Forest McBrian, Dustin Byrne, and Kristen Looper
Climbers: Jeffrey Bergstedt (Virginia), David Flux (UK), Mark Aitken (UK), Steve Olivera (Guam), Rishi Patel (UK), Nichola Tuer (UK), and Richard Paul Brooks (Australia).
Forest called at 2:30 pm on June 2nd with this dispatch:
"We are at camp 2 at 11,000 feet. We got here late last night on the night schedule. And I am very happy to announce that we are now switching to day schedule."
"We are doing a backcary today. It shouldn't be too bad, we're only 800 vertical feet above the cache. We're going to try to put a cache in up around windy corner tomorrow...but, we'll see. I'm not opposed to a rest day."
"It's warm and lovely at 11k and we just had a delicious french toast breakfast. It was perfect and awesome."
Rishi had a message for his friends, "it's 3 to 1, ha ha!" We assume he's talking about one sport or another...but Forest didn't know...
