Mt. McKinley: Walter & Team Ready for Summit Bid

Elevation: 17,200'
Hey guys, this is Mike Walter calling from high camp on Denali, 17,200’. We’re all doing great. We are all tucked into our sleeping bags. We moved up here yesterday and rested today. We are hoping for good weather to go for the summit tomorrow, which would be Saturday, May 26th. The forecast is for pretty light winds and some clouds so it is looking promising. We’ll give you guy a shout either from up top or back at camp hopefully. Alright. We’ll see you.
