Climbing Denali, Day 14
Mark and the climbing team are poised to make a bid for the summit of Denali / Mount Mckinley.
Mark was in touch yesterday evening to let us know he was feeling good. He had a further test with the that confirmed his blood oxygen level was still good and that he was continuing to acclimatise.
The team planned to rest for a further day and then asses the possibility of going for the summit on the next day. That means he could make it to 20,320 feet / 6,194 metres in the wee small hours of Wednesday 17 Jun, UK time.
This is the latest update from the :
Melis called in from HIGH CAMP this morning. Her group is all in good spirits and doing well. They are going to take a rest day today. It is hard sometimes to want to take a rest day when the weather is splitter like it is right now. It is worth it though. One days rest can make all the difference in the world. Two really difficult days in a row with only 8 hours rest is tough for anyone.
We hope to get audio from Mark as soon as he summits so keep checking back for further updates.
All fingers and toes are crossed!
