Mt. McKinley: Knoff & Team March Up Ski Hill
Posted by: Adam Knoff, Mike Uchal, Zeb Blais | June 22, 2012
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Mount McKinley
Elevation: 9,800'
Hello to all from the June 19 Denali expedition. If the saying “make hay while the sun shines” applies to mountaineering, this team could feed a lot of cows.
I am thrilled with our team dynamic and progress. Yesterday we ate breakfast, got ready and were blessed with clear conditions at base camp. K2 Aviation worked hard to get us all on the glacier which allowed us to pack up and move out. We arrived at the base of Ski Hill by dinner.
Today we woke to perfect weather and the team again showed great enthusiasm to get moving. By 6:45 a.m. we were marching up Ski Hill with full loads. We arrived at 9,800 feet by 11:30 and are now enjoying a steamy afternoon sun bathing. Stay tuned for tomorrow’s next episode. This is Adam Knoff signing off.

Mt. McKinley: Knoff & Team - Hangin’ in the Hangar
Posted by: Adam Knoff, Mike Uchal, Zeb Blais | June 20, 2012

Elevation: 348'
After a delicious Roadhouse breakfast and stories from the world famous Fairview Inn pre-party, the team has been busy sorting gear for the trip. The weather is beautiful right now and we’re prepping to fly onto the mighty Kahiltna tomorrow morning. Until then we’re enjoying solid earth under our feet, the smells of lush green plants in our noses and hearty meals in our bellies. Cheers from the RMI Knoff, Uchal and Blais team.

Mt. Rainier: Expedition Skills Seminar - Kautz

Seth here, checking in from inside my tent. We’re currently dug in at 9,200 feet at a spot we call “The Castle.” We’ve had a rough spell of weather on this trip with mostly white out conditions but the group is still having a good time. Yesterday we had good weather for a bit while we climbed up to our camp but over night a big storm came in and now we are just waiting it out in the safety of camp.
Tomorrow we will make our way back to civilization.
