Banco De Chile Dream Team is poised at High Camp!

My apologies; I had a bit of mis-information earlier. I got a call from lead guide Ryan Campbell earlier today and he said that the Chilean team is taking an acclimatization day at high camp (17,200 feet) today and will try to summit tomorrow!

Apperently, they moved up to High Camp yesterday and are resting and preparing for the Big Day. Ryan said that the group made good time moving up from 14,200 feet and that they all look good-to-go! The weather today was a bit nasty and tomorrow might be more of the same.

Summit day on Denali is serious business and the team will need a pretty good day in order to safely make an attempt at the top. Fortunately, they made great time moving from Basecamp to High Camp and so have plenty of food and fuel to wait out any bad weather.

We'll keep our fingers crossed down here! Good luck to all of you up high. It is not a very comfortable place up there and we wish you all the best.
