Mt. McKinley Expedition: Hailes & Team Move to 17,000’
Hey RMI, this is Walter Hailes calling from 17,200’ on Mt. McKinley. We made our move today from 14,000' to our high camp at 17,000'. We are all safe and sound up here. It's a beautiful day, warm temperatures, sunshine and light wind. This nice weather is not expected to stay around so we'll see what it looks like in the morning but we may be making our summit attempt soon.
Stay tuned and hope for good weather!

Hey Pete & Walt! I’m sending some of our Moroccan sunshine, overnight (I even put an extra stamp on it!),in hopes that you will be waking up in a few hours to good weather and heading to summit! Get up there safely, but more importantly, get back to Talkeetna safely :)
