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 09

Camp 3 to Camp 4 09:45 - Wes fired up the stove and got the water going while I started packing things up and digging our Camp 3 cache. We're moving to Camp 4 today - along with several other teams that have a couple hour head

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.

Mt. McKinley (2011) - Day 07

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

Mt. McKinley (2011) - Day 05

Cache at 10,000 09:00 - We woke up gradually this morning. The inside of the tent was coated with a fair bit of ice, but my hand crafted sleeping bag cover kept the moisture out. Wes cooked up butter-toasted, cheese-covered bagels for breakfast. They were delicious but ultimately
