Denali Expedition: Hailes & Team Move to High Camp
Thursday, June 7, 2018 - 11:27 PM PT
Well, we left our cozy home at 14,000 ft on Denali this morning. When we woke, we had clear views of the route, and could see that winds were calm. As we packed up and started moving, visibility decreased and snow started to fall. We slowly poked our noses a little further, halfway expecting the weather to turn us around, but it never did. It snowed most of the day, but it was relatively warm, and winds were very light. It was almost perfect, we just missed out on the views. Regardless, we have settled in to our new neighborhood, and are enjoying the warm 10 PM sun. We just finished dinner, and are tucking into our sleeping bags to stay nice and toasty. If the weather allows, we'll go for the summit tomorrow morning. Wish us luck!

Go get em! Enjoy the views from the summit ridge on top of North America. Check out Mt Huntington and then read “Mountain of my fear” in the plane ride home.

Wishing for a safe summit and descent! It is 95 and humid here in St. Louis for the Belleringer. Wish you were here but you’ll be back to warm up soon. Thinking about you and keep the updates coming. Take some pics/videos!
Wishing the best!
