Mt. McKinley: Knoff and Team Back Carry from 14,200’ Camp

May 29, 2015 10:41am PST As the sun hit our tent we woke up ready for our back carry to above windy corner. We could hear the wind in the distance scouring the buttress above us. But here at camp it was calm and brisk. Since we worked hard on our move to 14 camp and our back carry would only take a few hours, we opted for a relaxing morning before our work had to be done. After lounging in the posh till late morning we geared up and retrieved our cashed equipment and food. When we got back it was only mid afternoon, so the next task was to fortify camp with walls in case the wind decided to give us trouble. Little did we know that our team consisted of Egyptian craftsman. In no time or camp was secure.With much of the day left we took a solid break and made some fresh coffee, which is a real amenity up here. After being properly caffeinated we practice fixed line travel which will be a well needed review before cashing at 16,200. We are feeling good and are putting ourselves in a position to head higher on the mountain. With a little more acclimation and calm weather we will be ready for high camp and a bid at the summit. We are all very excited. RMI Guide Adam Knoff & Team

Well hello there again! So excited to hear that Gregs igloo building skills have been put to good use again. i just hope you had someone as tall as Jim to put the roof on!! I didn’t want to bore you with more ‘News” but guess what??? It’ s been snowing in Aberdeen!!! We fly there tomorrow ( weather permitting) so if the cold spell persists we can be at one with y’all!! Don’t think I"ll be packing my snow shoes though. Glad progress is going well and I"m excited for you too. Keep safe and don’t drink too much coffee!! Lotsa love xx
