Mt. McKinley: Beren & Team Rest at 11,000’
Posted by: Jake Beren, Elias de Andres Martos
Categories: Expedition Dispatches Denali
Elevation: 11,200'
Throughout the night the clouds surrounding camp started to produce snow and dropped over a foot around our tents. Plans are always in flux up here and our carry higher on the mountain has been postponed. The crew is unfazed, merrily digging out our home and relaxing with a big salmon and bagel breakfast. Another round of digging and a bit of rest before our upcoming potluck lunch. Down days can be productive, storing up strength for higher up on Denali and fine tuning the essential camp skills required for the future. That's all for now, cross your fingers for a break in the weather and we'll check in later.

Hi Dad, Hope you are staying warm and the weather clears up soon. Some news from below: Burger King just came out with a bacon sundae. Maybe you all can come up with something similarly heart healthy up there!
Love,
Maya
