Mt. McKinley: Walter & Team Still Hoping for Better Weather

May 25, 2015 - 7:16 pm PT Hello Everyone! This morning, hopeful to move to high camp, we awoke early and had breakfast and coffee in the chilly pre-solar hours, watching through dissipating clouds, as the wind whipped along the top of the West Buttress leaving streaks of sublimated snow in its wake. And so resumed another day of reading, sport eating, and exploring the tangled and winding pathways between the walls of surrounding camps. We are all crossing our fingers today is our final rest and acclimatization day here at fabulous 14 camp. We are looking forward to getting some exercise of the physical kind...we have been taxing the mental reserves nightly by developing a now customary team activity of Riddles over Dinner, made possible by the greatest boredom banishing App ever, Brain Twister by Will Shortz. Tonight we'll be starting with puzzle number 47 if you'd like to follow along...but trust us, they're exponentially harder at 14,200'! We are packed, prepped, and looking forward to making our move tomorrow morning, if the weather cooperates. Hopefully instead of practicing patience and unscrambling anagrams, we'll be establishing camp at 17,200' and enjoying the ever impressive views from higher on the mountain. Thanks for following along! RMI Guide Solveig Waterfall and the team

Solveig, Your latest blog was very interesting, where you shared how you all preserve your sanity while waiting on the weather at 14,000 ft. Good luck on catching good weather on your way to 17k.  with love, Joe & Dianne
