Mt. McKinley Expedition: Beren & Team at 11,000’
Hello everyone. It’s Jake checking in from Camp 3 at 11,000’ on Mt McKinley. Everyone in our party is strong and doing great, the weather is cooperating and we’re thoroughly enjoying expedition life in the Alaska Range. Our plan is to back-carry tomorrow and pick up our cache at 9,500’, then return to camp at 11,000’ for some R&R. The day after tomorrow we’ll climb ‘Motorcycle Hill’ and place a cache in the vicinity of Windy Corner (13,300’), descend, and once again camp at 11,000’. Camp here will be home for the next two nights, then weather permitting we’ll move up to 14,200’ and establish Camp 4. But we don’t want to get too far ahead of ourselves. So long for now.

Hey John - Sounds like you have good conditions and good progress racing up the Kahiltna. I hope the view is good at the 14 camp lavatory - maybe you can get a pretty picture for the next edition of High Alaska. No surprises here, getting ready for my own adventure to Steamboat Lake. - Chris
