Denali Expedition: King & Team Rest Day at 14,200’ Camp

Friday, June 14, 2019 - 5:26 PM PT The Team had another calm night here at 14,200ft. Our four nights here have been great for sleeping and acclimating and the fifth should be no different. We ate another big brunch, just without the mimosas. The weather has been splitter and the outlying forecast seems to be delayed. We also are not seeing the tell tale signs of deteriorating weather, lenticular clouds over Mt. Hunter and Mt. Foraker. With light snow and calm winds for tomorrow and Sunday our plan is to move up to 17,200’ and hopefully summit on Father’s Day the 16th. We walked out to the “Edge of the World”, an outcropping of rock where Genet Basin looks down into the Northeast Fork of the Kahiltna Glacier. The glacier valley is how climbers can begin the West Rib and Cassin Ridge climbing routes. The clouds came up quickly and the views were obscured. Regardless we got out of the tents and stretched the legs and lungs a bit. Fingers crossed this streak of weather continues and if it doesn’t, we will continue to sit here at 14 and wait for a better window. RMI Guide Mike King

Talk about “There’s adventure out there”!  Your team is amazing and it is thrilling to follow you. 
Hope you have a great day today climbing to 17,200 feet (whew!)  and a glorious summit coming up.

The photos are wonderful and we look forward to more.

Good to hear you’re all eating sleeping and aclimatising well and the weather is good too. Good luck for your climb to 17 camp today and fingers crossed for the summit tomorrow.  Sue and John Rogers x.
