Day 3 ...upward

Happy Monday! I hope that is what the guys are thinking and feeling and that they are still happy! By now hopefully there are no blisters, no altitude issues and they are staying warm and dry.
The weather today should have been another decent day. A high of 14 degrees with snow showers and a bit windy with winds out of the SW at 20mph.
Today ascent  will take them from the base of skihill at 7800' up to Kahiltna Pass at 9700'. Once they reach the pass, they will stow the bulk of their gear and then return to their 7800' camp to sleep for the night.
This is done to help them to acclimatize and gives their body plenty of time to adjust.

Now this would be an awesome view to see,, as seen from Kahiltna Pass.
