Mt. McKinley: Hailes & Team Prepare for Move
Posted by: Walter Hailes | June 04, 2011
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Mount McKinley
We finally got some Alaska mountain weather today. We made our final preparation for moving higher today by putting in a cache in at the top of the fixed lines and we got into a little wind and blowing snow in the process. When we set off this morning at 9am it was clear and cold with some obvious, but not outrageous wind on the ridge. Everything went smooth on the way up and only on the descent did we get some 20-25 mph wind and blowing snow. Just enough weather to make things fun.

P.S. Steve would like to wish Denise a happy birthday.

Good luck team. Steve Ian and Andy - Stay warm. If it is any consolation, we are 25 F below norm temps here in Cali. The rain is falling and the fire is lit. BE SAFE. Cigars on me when you get back and we can get together.

I’ll trade some of that blowing snow for our 95+ degree temps in Alabama! Doing great, Tim and crew.
