Mt. McKinley: Upper West Rib Team takes Weather Day at 14,000’

June 11, 2014 10:53pm PT We awoke this morning to clear skies and the sound of howling wind thrashing the mountain above us. It was a cold day at 14 camp despite the winds easing a bit in the afternoon. We finished building our snow walls and made some snow statues- a mailbox and planter among them. At 3:00 pm the winds had let up enough that we took a walk to the Edge of the World, a vista point on the 14k bench. The forecast is looking better and we are hopeful that we can get a cache up on the Rib tomorrow. Thanks for following along with us. RMI Guides Eric, Geoff and The UWR Team

Good work gentlemen!

John, your fantasy baseball team is doing phenominal, the first goal of the world cup was an own-goal, and I left a basball game in the middle of the 14th inning only to hear the fireworks of a walk-off homer in the parking lot. Stay safe-ish, take lots of photos, and enjoy your time on the mountian.

Good to hear you are planning your strategy, while still enjoying the scenery AND entertaining yourselves. Remember, slow and steady wins the race; and this one is all of you against Mother Nature and the mountain.

John- Sorry you missed your Dad’s Masters graduation but we know each of us has our own mountain to climb and conquer in our own time. Remember all of your family, here in the 48 contiguous, are rooting for your success and safe return.

I’m crossing my fingers for good weather so you guys can continue your climb. I’m sure you’re anxious to continue up, but hopefully you are enjoying the beautiful scenery and good company.  Keep up the good work building snow statutes, hopefully they are not too inappropriate (that’s for you John and Jesse).  Keeping you in my thoughts always, Jesse.
