Summit attempt

Team Moniz went for the summit yesterday and were turned back at the top of Denali Pass by high winds, which is a very common scenario. Jacob called once the team was in camp again and drinking hot drinks- as is also a common scenario, the weather quieted down in the afternoon and things were looking favorable. So now the team is on the familiar routine of hurry up and wait, but being prepared for the summit attempt with packed backpacks and full water bottles means they will be able to jump on good weather when it does come around. The team has plenty of food and fuel to wait out even the most persistent storm systems, so they'll poke their heads out of the tent to keep an eye on the weather and be ready to pounce when the opportunity presents itself.
