MT. McKinley: Beren and Team Move to 9,500’
Posted by: Jake Beren, Elias de Andres Martos, Thomas Greene | June 10, 2012
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Mount McKinley
Elevation: 9,500'
Do two times constitute a trend? Probably not, but today did share a few similarities with yesterday. We woke to a little squirrelly weather with a few inches of snow on the tents and it was unclear whether heading up was a good idea or not. We watched the skies and eventually decided to move. As we climbed into the whiteout above camp and onto Ski Hill proper, the snow stopped and we enjoyed pockets of visibility. It was downright hot as we pulled into camp with an excellent down glacier view. We were able to go down to baselayers as we built camp and as soon as we finished setting up shop it began to snow. Now we are enjoying a hot beverage before some Tortellini a la Thomas for dinner. Tomorrow we’ll see what happens in the sky and hopefully move to 11 camp.

Jake: Brings back memories! I assume Aconcagua is nothing like Denali (I’m climbing with you in December). Say hi to Elias for me. He may not remember but he helped me down the mountain last June when I got sick.
