Here is a view of the upper route that I was able to get from a plane recently. The climbing route comes from the lower left corner(12,000 ft) working up to the right, around the rock buttress (Windy Corner) and up into the basin in the middle of the picture (14,200/Camp 3)

They were stuck again yesterday (Monday) in a storm that seemed to be letting up a bit in the evening. Kevin was quite optimistic that they would be able to make the move up to 14,200 ft/Camp 3 on Tuesday. What can they do but be optimistic right now? It is looking a bit better in the AK Range now, and everyone on the mountain is excited to get underway again. They are in good company at Camp 2, with another Mt Trip group, and several other teams waiting out the weather together. It's all part of the fun(?) of climbing Denali.
