Day 10 - 14K camp, very windy
Windy. Vera keeps building snow wall.
From Denali Dispatches: "Patrol #1 is glad they descended to 14 camp yesterday, as it is howling enough there today. High camp would have been brutal, and all are relieved that no teams are up high...Gorgeous skies, but definitely one of the windiest days this season with gusts at 14K clocked at 36 mph. A big fat lenticular cloud is perched on the summit...Wilson and Oliver Hoogendorn of Nome, Alaska were the first two -- and so far the only two -- mountaineers to reach the summit of Denali this climbing season. The brothers (age 20 and 21, respectively) began their West Buttress climb on May 5. They reached the summit on Sunday, May 19, and returned to Talkeetna today. "
