Guide Andrew Yasso called on May 26th at 5:30pm PST with the following dispatch:
Hi this is Andrew calling from High Camp at 17,200 feet on Denali. We woke up to clear blue skies and pretty amazing conditions. We said alright everyone get ready lets go, and then the winds started to pick up and the weather turned so it turned into a hurry up and wait situation.
We pretty much get one shot at the mountain and we've got a couple days to wait for more ideal conditions so we decided not to rush it. We're just hanging out, resting up, watching the weather, eating lots of food, and drinking lots of water. We're staying healthy and hopefully we'll take a shot at it tomorrow. Every one else is doing well they're just taking photos, reading books, all the little things you do when you're just sitting around camp. We'll talk to you soon.
