Day 4, Monday, June 22 the team [Dave, Todd & Fred] did sleep in - but not much.  The team with the remaining gear moved to Camp II - 11,000 ft., a small basin at the base of Motorcycle Hill - 7 hr. and 3,200 ft. climb from Camp I.  The weather remains heavily overcast with some whiteout conditions and it continues to snow.  While we were anticipating poor satellite communication is this part of the mountain the call from Todd was the best connection we have had so for.  

Today - Day 5, Tuesday, June 23rd the plan is to carry and establish a cache as high as possible - possibly at Windy

Corner - 13,000 ft. and aprx 1.5 miles.  A cache will be established at the 11,000 ft. camp for snowshoes, a small food cache and any gear not needed on the upper mountain.  Climbing from here up will continue be roped but wearing crampons & ice axe.  Most of the elevation gain on the way to Windy Corner is immediately out of Camp II - up both Motorcycle Hill and then Squirrel Point and then a steep rise to the plateau just before Windy Corner.  If the weather clears at all the views from the top of Motorcycle Hill and higher are spectacular.  The 'Low Pressure' to the South of Denali is expected to stay in place through Wednesday and then weaken through Saturday - winds at 14,000 Tuesday night are forecast to be 30 to 50 MPH from the Southeast - winds above 17,000 ft. are forecast to be 40 to 60 MPH.
