"Hi, It's Angela. We're making good progress! Yesterday we ascended the fixed lines above Camp 3 and cached food and fuel at 16,200 feet to prepare for a trip up to high camp. It was a classic Denali day ... cold temps, wind, snow. And the team did great. It was definitely a hard day of climbing and everyone stayed psyched.
"So ... today we're taking a rest day, but we'll be working to fortify the camp ... build a few walls, reinforce others. There's a little bit of weather coming in. So we'll just have to hunker down and wait for a window.
"Take care, over and out!"
