Mt. McKinley: Beren & Team on Descent
Posted by: Jake Beren, Elias de Andres Martos, Thomas Greene | June 22, 2012
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Mount McKinley
Elevation: 11,200'
Hello everybody this is Jake and crew at the start of the Kahiltna Glacier at 11,000’. Today we descended from 17,000’ down to 11,000’ where we are making a camp for a few hours before trying to walk on the lower Kahiltna while it’s still frozen in the early morning. With any luck we will be at the runway in time to catch a flight back to Talkeetna.
We hope everyone is doing very well there and trust that we are doing well here. With what may be our last night on the mountain. Hopefully, I didn’t jinx us and that we will be heading home soon.
So see you all then.

Wow, so quick coming down! Great news, can’t wait to hear more about the climb. Hopefully you make your flight! But, still be careful and don’t rush too much.
Love,
Maya
