Denali Expedition: Walter & Team Settling in at 14,200’

Saturday, May 26, 2018 - 4:39 PM PT Our first night sleeping at 14,200' on Denali was chilly but restful. After a leisurely wake up and breakfast, we booted up and headed down to retrieve our cache at ~13,600', just this side of Windy Corner. Now, back in camp, we are relaxing and resting, hydrating and eating. Our plan is to rest and acclimate this afternoon and also tomorrow. We will spend some time tomorrow fortifying camp by building walls and also practicing fixed rope travel for climbing on the headwall above camp. The next step for us is to establish a cache for our high camp. If all goes well, we'll get that done on Monday. RMI Guide Mike Walter

Alex and Tom and team- you are amazing, so proud of and inspired by all that you have already accomplished.  Good luck going forward!

Hi Tom M,
Fifteen hikers were asking after you today.  Ralph led us on an awesome hike on Mt Tam, 17+ miles, 4100+ft.  Having said that we appreciate that hiking in CA amounts to zip when compared to climbing Alaska’s big D.
We collectively send our best wishes to you and the team. 
Love & Hugs

Stay warm, eat and drink plenty, and rest well tomorrow!  Fingers are still crossed for decent weather and a safe summit!

We are all thinking of you, Tom, and send our love!
Warm hugs!

This is so much more than jumping out of bad airplanes!  I am so proud of you my son.  Others say Por Que… you say Por Que No?

This climbing mountains as a metaphor of your goals, naaa. You just decided to climb the mountain.  No metaphors.

So risk your life in the pursuit of dreams.  It seems to be what draws us… if imminent death is not involved, we can watch the rest on TV.

You got this crazy gene… it is exciting… isn’t it?

In heart only… I am there with you.  I pray for me as for you… Don’t fuck it up… ok?

Or at least, get some great pictures.  I hope they do not retrieve the camera from a crevasse.

Black, dark humor always got me by. 

Climb high… others use what you do as a likeness to what they want to be.

Crest on!

Oh yeah… I love you, like a turtle love UP. (I hate metaphors)

Dad
