McKinley: Day Three - Up Ski Hill

May 4, 2007

Posted by: Seth Waterfall

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Mt. McKinley

Elevation: 9,600'

Today we climbed to the top of ski hill. We got a good dose of reality as we each hauled over 100 lbs. of gear 2000 vertical feet up hill. The only relief comes from looking around at the huge mountains all around us. Everyone did great on the climb of Ski Hill today, but we were all a bit tired as we pulled into our camp. The routine of living on Denali is starting to settle in for everyone and we’re all in good spirits for the rest of the climb.
