McKinley Expedition: Bergstrom & Team Make Quick Move to 14,000ft Camp

Tuesday, June 23, 2026 - 10:00 pm PT

The expedition continues! The past few days have been overwhelmingly successful. On the 21st we had a short day consisting of picking up our cache at 9,800 and bringing it up to 11,000' Camp. The next day, we brought a cache up to 14 Camp and met up with Ben’s team. Today, we woke up early and outran (or out-shuffled) the worst of the bad upcoming weather to 14 Camp, and are resting victoriously! 

With luck, we’ll be able to get a cache up high after weathering the storm.

McKinley Expedition: Bergstrom & Team Have Had Smooth Climbing to 11K Camp

Saturday June 20 - 8:45pm PST

We’re progressing well up the mountain and having fun! Currently we are at 11k camp with a cache at 10k feet. Tomorrow we plan on retrieving our cache and to place our next cache around 14k the following day. We will see if the weather cooperates with that plan. We’ve been blessed with great weather so far, if even a little hot in the sun. After the first couple days sleeping on the glacier, I’m excited to be making vertical progress!
