They are single carrying on this trip instead of carrying and cacheing loads. That saves them a bunch of miles of climbing/walking and changes the strategy a bit. They are able to do this on the last trip of the year because there is leftover food and fuel from previous expeditions already cached at camps above them.
Thursday they moved up to 9,800 ft in a single push, and set up camp there. Bill has a Sat Phone that works now, so we'll be getting daily calls from Denali updating their progress.
