Update on Len's #Denali Summit - "No team climbed today because of high winds near camp 3 evidenced by the high lenticular clouds overhead. For those clouds to form the winds exceed 100 mph...." Read his full update at the @Hopecam Facebook Page https://t.co/pI5fOpK7Hp

We will come back and sleep here tomorrow night. Thanks for your kind worlds of encouragement. The team is in high spirits, and excited to be here. It’s HAPPENING! More updates to come. Len is honoring a @Hopecam child at each of the base camps. Follow @Hopecam for more info.

Len's #Denali Update. This is a series of tweets. We arrived from Talkeetna #Alaska to base camp last night about 5pm. We flew a single engine plane packed with backpacks, sleds & large duffel bags filled with tent, cooking supplies, climbing gear & 21 days of food for 8 people.

[Len Forkas @Lenforkas]

We set up our tents at camp one and after a nice nap in the 80 degree heat inside our tents we are now having dinner.Tomorrow we will leave at 600 am and climb to camp two (9000 feet) with the gear we won’t need for a few days like food, heavy clothes and gas fuel for the stoves.
