Mike Pond called at 4:39pm PST June 9th with the following dispatch: Hey it’s Denali Team 6. We are currently at 11 camp, David had to go down to base camp and get flown out due to a wicked toothache. Our best wishes go with him, he’s a great guy and was a pleasure to have on our team. Dustin and Tad had to bring him down and should be headed back up now. So, this is our second day waiting. We’re just hanging. The answer to the riddle was not peeing, get your mind out of the gutter, it was shaking hands. Brian’s quite the riddle master here, we’ll have another riddle for you soon. We’re biding our time eating and resting and getting super psyched to get up there soon and give ‘er.
