Billmeier called from 14k camp this afternoon. They were settling into their home for the next 4 nights. They had a good day moving up to the next camp, and everyone is in great spirits! This was the first day that the climbers got to put on their crampons, and get out the ice axes, everyone was excited for climbing.
Eric Baker has a message."Daddy loves Julia and Drew and hopes that they are making good choices."
Tommorow will be another rest/acclimitization day for the team, they'll sleep in late, and have a big leisurely breakfast that usually lasts until noon.

Eric, we know you must be enjoying today's 4 hour breakfast. At this rate, you will still be climbing Denali in the fall! Julia and Drew stayed with us and made some very good choices, one of which was to go to the Blue Moon for root beer floats! What is this I hear about some Purdue guy on the climbing team?! Tell me it aint so! As an Indiana University grad, how did a Purdue Boilermaker make it through the stringent screening process to qualify?! Stay safe everyone. Love, Mom & Dad
Hey Eric,
You must be having a WONDERFUL time if a Purdue grad is there!!!! GO BOILERS!!! It is really hot in Indiana today, so enjoy that awesome weather. Glad to hear everyone is safe!
