McKinley Expedition: Luedtke & Team Cache at 10,000’

Friday, June 12th - 10PM PST

Upward progress continues as the team takes advantage of early momentum on the mountain. Conducting their first carry of the expedition, nearly half of their equipment, food, and gear was moved up to just below 11 camp at just above 10k feet. Slighter cooler temps made for a more pleasant push, and the team made the round trip effort in just over six hours. The rest of the day let way to rest and a timely dinner, finalizing with packing for the push to the next camp. All is well and stoke remains high as the team prepares to continue onward and upward.

Ben K, we’re climbing with you dear Ben. Our turf is much easier and we know you’ll make it with your new friends. Hope there’s alot of laughs along the way.

PS Knicks won last night, 24 HRS of LE Mans over in 1 HR 15 minutes.
