Mt. McKinley: Walter & Team Settling in at 11,200’ Camp

May 12, 2015 11:00 pm PT Hello everyone! We tackled our third day of Mt. McKinley climbing today, which brought us to camp at 11,200'. The team did exceptionally well and we made great time, rolling into camp before it became uncomfortably hot on the glacier. Once here we had a big task ahead of us, constructing tent platforms and a kitchen and bathroom. Thankfully we were able to make use of some old walls and platforms that only required minor adjustment to make them workable for our tents, saving us at least an hour of hard labor. The bathroom and kitchen required the most effort, but the team rotated through the shoveling and we now have a luxurious Posh House dining area which we enjoyed over a filling dinner of mac and cheese with bacon and broccoli. We are all tucked in now, enjoying the last few minutes of sunlight in camp in the comfort of our sleeping bags, looking forward to a nice rest and short day tomorrow. Our plan is to sleep in a bit later than the last few mornings, and then return to our last camp to retrieve our remaining food. We'll check in again tomorrow! RMI Guide Solveig Waterfall and the team!

For Eric and all you hockey fans at Camp 11,200’:  Rangers just won 2-1 in OT!  Stepan nets winner.  Tampa Bay series starts on Sat.  Keep that Stanley Cup “beard” growing, and keep on chugging Ricky et al!  Dad/Alex

The views of the camp and description of last night’s dinner are both mouth watering! Thanks for the updates which Eric’s family is vicariously enjoying. I send you all a big hug and an extra one for my son Eric (you know, the embarrassing mom stuff). Peace and clear skies, xo Sally
