Tonight Frodo called before I went to bed, but worse reception so far by a large margin. Still, I think I got the essence (if not the full details) of his message.

First off, he thanks you all for your good wishes.

They are still at 14,200 feet (have been there for six nights), and climbed (I am not sure when) again to 16,200 feet for acclimatization. It seems that the weather is not good, Bob said something about having had bad weather for four days. It seems that they are waiting for better weather for a summit attempt.
 
How ironic is it that the NWS reporting station code for Denali Park is "PAIN" ?
