McKinley Expedition: Hahn & Team Waiting out the Weather

Elevation: 11,000'

Well the storm was still around today but it got done piling snow on our tents by 5AM. We ended up getting a pretty sunny calm day. There were still clouds everywhere but not on us. Having received at least a foot of new snow in a relatively short time, we needed the slopes to cook and settle in the sunshine to cut down on avalanche possibilities. They seemed to be doing just that. Will Ambler gave a master class in snow/avalanche science to our assembled climbing team this afternoon. We’ve now got our eyes on a move up to 14,000' tomorrow morning in what should be good weather.
