Mt. McKinley: Jones & Team Adventure to the Edge of the World

Thursday June 11th 5:50 pm PT Again we remain at 14,000 foot camp as we wait for the weather to turn for a summit bid. The snow keeps coming down around here like coconut flakes sprinkled on ice cream. We did take advantage of a short break in the clouds this morning to walk to the Edge of the World, a viewpoint to the northeast fork of the Kahiltna several thousand feet below. Waddling out onto the saddle rock is an existential experience indeed, having all that air underneath you really makes you feel alive! After our trek to the Edge of the World, we enjoyed a nice mid-morning brunch. With chilly temperatures and a light breeze we crawled back into our tents for an afternoon reading session. A few hours later we greeted Jake's team, who carried from 11K Camp. It was nice to see his team, they all seemed to be doing well. Keep sending good weather vibes our way! RMI Guide Tyler Jones

Ken we are all still pulling for you. I know you are having a great time seeing some amazing sights. Can’t wait to hear about it when you get back. Praying for good weather so you can make that summit. Dennis

Ken, here’s a poem for you and the team…

And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. Anais Nin

The Edge of the World looked incredible!  Loved the view of the mountain peaks against the blue cloud streaked skyline.  Hopefully not too much snow in those clouds. We are calling on the Patron saint against bad weather, St. Medard of Noyon, to join us in our prayers for perfect conditions for the teams to summit. God speed and special Blessings to all!

I will keep you in our prayers and pray that the weather will clear for your summit attempt in the next day or so.
Hope to climb this mountain someday myself.  It is my Everest.  Looking forward to climbing Rainier next season.  Then Denali the next in 2017.
