Friday, June 21, 2019 - 10:18 PM PT We are sitting in the sun at 11K Camp. Happy Solstice! We have over 19 hours of daylight and it never gets dark anyway. We had a great climb up here from our last camp. The team is really performing well with all of the hard work it takes to climb this mountain. We have our submissions for the haiku contest. If you would like to vote for your favorite, please leave us a message on the blog. As most climbing trips tend to do eventually, many of our conversations and most of these haikus center around the clean mountain cans (CMC's) that we use to collect and remove our human waste from the mountain. What these lack in elegance and beauty, they make up for with creativity! 1) Loners crevasse it But all guides and their clients Leave no brown behind 2) Dinner so spicy Feeling it burning my insides CMC lookout 3) Sleep eat hike eat sleep Heavy load and extreme temps All to make the top 4) Mountain CMC Thank you for taking our crap You're a team player 5) When I'm not at work I crap in cans; hope for sun Still better than work 6) Scaling Denali Be sure to use riser bars (on snowshoes) Unless you are Grayson RMI Guide Mike Haugen & Team Siete
