Denali Expedition Team 1 left high camp at 17,200 at 12 noon Alaska time (4pm Eastern time) to make a summit attempt. In his satellite phone message, guide Paul Ivaska said:
"We're here in the sun at 17,200 feet ready to make a bid for the summit. We'll leave in just a few minutes. We are worried that some poor weather may be coming in over the next few days, so this might be our best shot. Wish us luck!"
