Rest and Acclimatization at 14,000 ft

The team rested yesterday at Camp 3 at 14k. This was a well deserved rest, and one more day for them to adjust to this altitude before making the jump up to high camp at over 17,000 ft. Today they'll be moving up to high camp, and then it's just one more push to the summit. The weather on Denali has been exceptionally nice for them up till now, so hope that it holds out.

There was a tragic, unexpected death on another team just a few days behind this group. You can read about it on the blog for the May 1st trip at http://may12009denali.blogspot.com
