Mt. McKinley: Jones & Team at 11K Camp

There is no better way to start a day than sleeping in. After some long days of climbing, we have earned it. This morning we slept late, had breakfast burritos and started the work day at a leisurely 11am. While 23.5 hours of sunlight a day is a bit disorienting at first, hard work has been a great sleeping aid for the team. Our crew is getting stronger every day. After our leisurely morning, we completed a back carry from 10,000' with no problems. We now sit at our 11,000' home, hiding from the beating radiation and gorging ourselves on goodie bags of food we recovered from our cache this morning. This afternoon we plan to meticulously re-pack the kit for a cache at 14,000' camp. We look forward to caching and moving up in the next few days, if weather allows. Thank you to all for your comments and words of encouragement. RMI Guide Tyler Jones

Sounds like things are progressing well and that the team is strong.  Keep up the good work.
Breakfasts don’t sound bad either.  Maybe Chris can cook up some massaman curry ;)
