Mt. McKinley: Upper West Rib Team Establishing Camp at 11,200’ Camp

June 2, 2015 - 5:43 pm PT Light snow is pelting the outside of our tents this afternoon, but we are warm and dry inside. Soon we will need to venture out and build high walls around our camp to protect the tents from any potential wind damage. Despite the fact that it is a lot of hard work, wall building tends to be a favorite among groups. It is half artistry and half big-kid Legos. The group was already productive today. After a leisurely breakfast of bagels with smoked salmon, we took a three hour stroll down to our cached food and brought it back up to 11,200' camp. Now we are firmly established here and getting stronger for our next move uphill. RMI Guides Geoff Schellens and Eric Frank

Stay warm Kim with all that new snow. Remember, with your height you will have an advantage getting more Oxygen!

Hi Kim: Looks like you & the team are doing terrific! We look forward at some point to seeing photos of the snow walls you are building around the tents. Sounds like it could be a “work of art” suitable for gallery viewing.Go Kim Go!!!  Be safe & stay well!!  Love,  Dad
