I haven't talked to Melis yet this morning, but I'm sure they're already at least awake. I bet they hang inside their bags and tents til it warms up and they get plenty of hot drinks and food in their stomachs. From the looks of the SPOT reports Melis's team had about a 12 hour summit day. That's a good time. That's exactly what we shoot for.

Here's another message from Jim Torbet on the Advanced Mountaineering Course: "Just to let Jake and Anna know that their Dad is having a great time in the Denali National Park. Hard work, cold, but ‘awesome’ scenery. He will call you when he gets off the mountains, and see you after the weekend."
