Camp 3/14,200 ft
They moved up to Camp 3 today under blue skies, and very little wind. It was a perfect day in the Alaska Range, and the team had a great day climbing up to their new home for the next few days. They'll spend at least 4 nights at this altitude to acclimate, cache their gear up high, and recover a bit before the final push to high camp and the summit. Camp 3 is the social hub of Denali, with lots of teams staging here for their push to the upper mountain. There can be well over 100 climbers from all over the world in this camp this time of year. It is generally quite entertaining.
