Mt. McKinley: Beren & Team to the Edge of the World
Posted by: Jake Beren, Elias de Andres Martos
Categories: Expedition Dispatches Denali
Elevation: 14,200'
Today we enjoyed the luxury of waking to the sun on the tents, avoiding the early morning cold. Once up and fed, we took a fantastic walk to THE EDGE OF THE WORLD. Perfect views of the lower Kahiltna Glacier 7,000 feet below our perch and we all took turns peeking over the edge and snapping a few photos. Don't worry friends and family, we were on belay the whole time.
For the afternoon we rested and welcomed the RMI 4 team after their stylish send on Denali yesterday. Nice job everyone!
Then it was back to work, setting up a fixed line practice and trying as many variations as possible to prepare for the cache tomorrow. Now it's dinner time, catch y'all tomorrow.

Bob, have a great Father’s Day on the mountain! Gave Dad a call today on the team’s progress. The summit is closing in, praying for your and the team’s continued safety. Your hard training is paying off, you’re almost there and will be headed home with some great memories, see you soon.

Heh Team Beren - I’m channeling some temperate weather your way from Santa Barbara CA. Special shout out to Ross from those gambling fools Nomar and Howard “the odds are in your favor”. So happy you got that great view and it goes without saying happy Father’s Day to all the dads on the mountain.

Nice work Eric! We are following along here in South Bend. Noah and Ethan both think you should hurry up and get to the top——it was over a week ago when we summitted the great Warren sand dune. Mom and Dad are having a blast in Italy and send their best. Better have some great pics of the Edge of the world with our camera! Looking forward to talking with you soon.
Love,
Zach, Veronica, Noah, Ethan, and Claire

Fingers still crossed!
To Crispi: weißt du noch, Daddy bei unserem gemeinsamen Motorradurlaub: er hat uns unsere unbeschreiblich schönen und auf keine andere Weise zu erlebenden Erfahrungen von Herzen “gegönnt” und war doch froh, als wir gesund und vergnügt zurück waren. Ein bisschen so fühle ich mich jetzt auch:-)
Take care!
