Mt. McKinley: Walter & Team Rest Day at 11K Camp
Posted by: Mike Walter, Paul Edgren, Mike Hinckley | June 19, 2012
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Mount McKinley
Elevation: 11,200'
Hi guys, this is Mike checking in from the 11k camp on Denali. All is well. We decided to spend another day here at 11,200’ instead of moving up to 14,200’ today. We are spending the day resting, eating, and getting more acclimated to the altitude before venturing higher. We are hoping to move up to 14k tomorrow, weather pending. Until then, we’re enjoying the sunny, hot weather and just lazing around. Hopefully our next dispatch will be from higher ground.
Cheers,
RMI Guide Mike Walter

Stan-
Is that a cumulonimbus w/anvil I see? Whoa! Stakes will be handy! Keep your eyes on the Summit! Oh, longest day of the year is today—extra daylight! See you tomorrow, love me

For Lee and all,
Glad all is well at 11K and wish you great climbing weather for the days ahead. Enjoy the hot weather while you can!
Emily/Hannah/Nick all say I love you and can’t wait for you to get back. Leo is still sleeping but would say the same thing!

Hi Tim! Can’t seem to fall asleep, wondering exactly where you are. Remind me who your guides are please. I know the whole family will want to check in.
I love you!
Deb

Hi Bean,
I bet the mountain looks better from your vantage point than it did 20 years ago. Enjoy the view.
Cheers,Dad
