Mt. McKinley: Brent Okita & Team Carry to 13,500’
Hello from Mt. McKinley,
Awakening to perfect skies and no wind provided a great start to our carry to 13,500' today. The team rose to the challenge of the steeper terrain and climbed well. With that done, we just need another reasonable day to move camp to 14,200' from which the summit is tantalizingly close.
But of course, there is still so much yet to do before we can be thinking of that.
For now, an afternoon of rest after getting back and a hearty meal of mac and cheese with loads of bacon should get us fueled up for our big move in the morning.
I think everyone is feeling good about the day to come. I know I am.
Until next time, at 14,200', with any luck.
