Mt. McKinley Expedition: Beren & Team Check in from 14,000’
Hello from our 14,000' camp on Mt. McKinley.
This is Mike Uchal, Gilbert, Jake, and team just hanging out after a carry to the fixed lined this afternoon. We made a cache up high and came down to a little bit of weather coming in.
So we are going to hold tight for a day or two and see what develops and then hopefully move higher for our summit day. Everyone is doing well, and we will check in again later!
