Mt. McKinley: Haugen & Team Move to 9,500’

June 19, 2011

Posted by:

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Mt. McKinley

Elevation: 9,500'

We bit off another chunk of the mountain with our move to 9,500' camp today. The weather threatened to close in on us around mid-morning with clouds surrounding us and a bit of snow. Around noon, the clouds cleared and the sun warmed us up as we finished out our day with a hard afternoon of napping. Slow is steady and steady is fast. RMI Guide Mike Haugen
