Denali Team 3: May 13 to June 2 - Dispatch #12
Guides: Angela Seidling, Andrew Yasso, Ben Gardner
Climbers: David Bradley (UK), Christopher Bradley (UK), Michael Buttery (UK), Mary Mears (Alaska), Carol Akerson (Alaska), Loren St. Amand (Alaska), Tim Erdman (Oregon), Dan Fiorito (Washington), Adam MacDonald (Canada/Australia)
The weather was decent but then as we got onto the ridge it was kind of like we were inside a ping pong ball; a little bit of a white out. We're in camp we're settling in getting ready for a rest day tomorrow. We'll probably check in again tomorrow. Depending on what the weather does we'll be making our summit bid in the next few days here. We'll keep you posted. Thanks for following us and we'll look forward to hopefully giving you good news soon.
