We had a smooth early morning departure from basecamp this morning. It looks like we brought the A-team! Everyone did great as we moved our heavy loads over five miles up the Kahiltna Glacier.
The weather has been great all day with sunshine, no wind, and warm temps. We were able to see Denali for much of the day, which was a pleasant change from the overcast days we have had.
Our plan is to cache some food and gear around 10k and then come back to this camp and get ready to move up the next day. It looks like the weather may cooperate with us. The adventure continues!

Hemingway said, “There are only three real sports: Bull-fighting, car racing, and mountain climbing. All the others are mere games.” Be safe as you continue your sport however your loved ones will not fault you if you decide to take up ping pong when you return..GO TEAM!!
