Mt. McKinley: Walter & Team at Camp 4

May 11, 2011

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Denali

Elevation: 14,200'

We woke this morning to very cold temperatures and gusty winds, but clear skies at Camp 3. After breakfast we packed up the tents and headed out; the wind had quit and the weather was beautiful as we headed up Motorcycle Hill and then Squirrel Hill. It even got hot as we climbed toward Windy Corner. We are now in our new home, Camp 4 (14,200'). We will go back to Windy Corner tomorrow to retrieve the cache of gear we left there 2 days ago. Everyone climbed well and we're cozy in our sleeping bags trying to get used to this new altitude. My fingers are cold as I type this, so that's it for now. I'll be in touch again tomorrow.
