Denali Team 2: Day 11, Rest day. Today our team fixed camp and built an underground snow cave to substitute for our mess tent (as is a tradition on Chad Cochran’s expedition). Light snow all day on the mountain and the trend looks like more snow throughout the week. We will practice skills and continue to acclimatize. Denali Team 2, over and out.
P.s. Happy Birthday Brian, Bo ✌ (From Leah)
