Mt. McKinley: Walter & Team Reach 17,000’ Camp
Mike Walter called at 12:00 a.m. Friday morning and reported that he and the team had reached 17,000’ Camp on Mt. McKinley. They had a nice day of climbing with light snow and no wind. They rolled into camp at about 5:00 p.m., and are now resting. The team may take a rest day at 17,000 but if everyone is feeling good they might just go for the top.
Good Luck Team!

Hello to all, Hope all is going well and everyone if feeling great for the climb to the
top. Said a few prayers today for good weather and safe climbing. Thanks for the call, unfortunately I was sound asleep and thought I was dreaming. Take care of each other and good luck.

Woohoo, good job! I vote for no resting! Paul, all the girls are going to see Magic Mike tonight, but seeing as how much you enjoyed Brokeback Mountain, I have decided to wait for you to get home so we can go watch it together. I hope your mountain is nothing like Brokeback! Cant wait to see you in a few days. Good luck getting to the top.
