Day 12 - 14K camp - preparing for the storm

Another rest day at 14K camp, and the big storm is approaching. Despite this, some climbers are attempting to take advantage of the remaining good weather by caching supplies and even moving up to the 17,000-foot camp.

Interestingly, some climbers are choosing to wait until Saturday, the actual day of the storm, to move up to the 17K camp. This has resulted in the destruction of their tent at the 16K bivouac site, followed by a difficult descent down the fixed lines in the storm. Some climbers have even attempted to summit from the 14K camp, but have given up on the Denali Pass and have had difficulty finding their way out.
