Richard Riquelme called at 12:52 am PST June 24th with the following dispatch: Good Night! This is Richard from Denali Team 7. Today we went from 14 to 17,200 feet on Denali. It was a long day. Pretty Breezy too. There was a lot of wind on the ridge as we got near 17,000 camp. Today we actually had a team member decide to descend. Sid Ratnavelu was too tired to continue ( I apologize it was broken up, more info will come when we have it) Ben took Sid down to meet with Team 8, who apparently also had someone heading down.
So, yeah that’s the news from me right now. Tomorrow will be a lazy day because the weather’s supposed to come in so we’re just going to hunker down for a bit and wait for the opportunity. Everybody’s doing fine right now, their in good spirits, but very tired. See you later aligator.
