Weather made it difficult to send a voice dispatch today, so the following is a text that was received from Team 1: We had a weather day at 14, winds were very high on the upper mountain but everyone is safe and sound. Kevin cooked us a lovely Mac and cheese supreme for din. And yours truly (George) provided us with all oatmeal breakfast. Lots of camp maintenance was done like resurfacing the cook tent, bathroom and group gear areas.

Team 2 moved to Camp 2 (11,200') today! The weather started to turn windy towards Kahiltna Pass; possibly a reason the dispatch is broken up towards the end.

Team 1 spent the day preparing for the upper mountain. The dispatch gets garbled at about 1:10 but they appreciate you sending in the trivia, and feel free to send the answers when you can.
