McKinley Expedition: Burns & Team Waiting out the Rain in Talkeetna

Rain rain
go away
K2 said not today

Today is not looking like our day. Grey skies and on and off rain is the theme so far. We spent the morning enjoying a slow breakfast and hot cups of coffee. With our extra time we went over sled set up and rigging as well as fixed line climbing. We hope things change for us tomorrow.

Best
