Mt. McKinley Expedition: Tyler Jones & Team move to 11,000’
What a day is all I can say. We awoke to great weather at 4 a.m. this morning with nice traveling temps. The team packed camp in good style and moved smoothly for just over four hours, arriving at 11,000' camp just after 10 a.m. We went right to work building our best and most deluxe camp yet including an enclosed mountain business station.... and and a posh house kitchen that tops a five star establishment.
The team is climbing well, though a bit pooped this afternoon. All of us are in great spirits. We are hiding in the tents from the intense radiation on this blue bird day while catching up on hydration and rest. Tomorrow will bring us a short back carry to retrive our cache from yesterday which should disperse the lactic acid in our legs by helping us move some blood along with helping the crew further acclimate.
Days like today are some of the best and most memorable in the mountains, and we're all excited to be sharing this experience together. Cheers from 11,000'!
