Rest at Camp 4 09:45 - These puffy pants are amazing. If I combined them with my parka (which is presently serving as a pillow), I could probably forego a sleeping bag entirely. It's an interesting thought. Maybe use the goretex sleeping bag cover to stay dry?

Mt. McKinley (2011) - Day 11

Back carry from 13,500 to Camp 4 10:30 - We woke up late, as usual. I guess if waking up late is usual, then we woke up on time. As usual. Like previous nights, I slept warm up until the last few hours, and then I couldn'

Mt. McKinley (2011) - Day 10

Rest at Camp 4; build walls / kitchen / crapper 10:45 - Mike had told us the previous day that the sun will hit camp around 10am. I was lying in my sleeping bag, waiting. It never happened. It was over-cast and breezy. Neither Wes nor I had any desire to

Mt. McKinley (2011) - Day 08

Cache at 13,500 09:45 - Like clockwork Wes awoke with a powerful need to make water and cook breakfast. More power to him. When I shortly later became uncomfortably warm in my sleeping bag (due to the sun heating up the tent), I gradually emerged and joined him.

Back carry from 10,000 to Camp 3 12:00 - We back carried from 10k, which was a good thing since we were down to just a few snacks remaining. It took about 25 minutes on snowshoes to get down to the cache and maybe 1.25 hours to
