Mt. McKinley: Hahn and Team Practicing Patience

Tuesday, July 7, 2015 - 10:56 pm PT Not surprisingly, this morning wasn't quite right for moving higher. It was socked in, snowing and a little blustery through the night. By morning, the blustery part was finished at 14 Camp, but we could hear the big winds still raking the crest of the West Buttress, a few thousand feet overhead. The team met for pancakes in the POSH and then dispersed to do camp chores and more wall building. In the afternoon, as the storm seemed to be losing a little energy, RMI Guides Steve Gately and JM Gorum raced up to 16,200' to fetch back some of our cached food. With the extended forecast being a little sloppy, we want more supplies at 14,000' just in case avalanche conditions should develop between here and the cache site. They were up and down again in less than two hours. As we ate dinner, the upper mountain weather continued to improve. By bedtime, there was plenty of optimism that despite the forecasts, we'd get the break we need for moving to high camp. Best Regards, RMI Guide Dave Hahn

Every extra day waiting for safe conditions to ascend is another day to spend soaking up the wisdom of Master Hahn.  And pretty soon you’ll all be snow masons with the great walls you’ve been building.  Good luck all on the next stage of the journey!
