Denali West Buttress Expedition Team 4 (May 23 - June 12, 2018) Dispatch from June 6th


Guides:

Jeremy Devine
Steve Johnson

Climbers:

Alex Uddin
Adrian Bell
Nick Talbott
Rowena Lewthwaite

Team 4 elected not to move to High Camp today. Some very cold and strong winds chased out a few teams from High Camp and hampered the attempts of others. Team 4 elected to keep legs strong and move up in more favorable conditions. As this is the most difficult day of the expedition, a good move day is crucial to potential summit success.
