Mt. McKinley: Beren & Team Move Into 14K Camp
Posted by: Jake Beren, Elias de Andres Martos
Categories: Expedition Dispatches Denali
Elevation: 14,200'
Waking to perfect conditions, clear and near windless, we decided to saddle up and move on up to Genet Basin and make a new home at 14,000 feet. Our hard work yesterday really paid off, leaving us with a perfect trail to camp. It was even downright hot as we pulled into camp and we found a great camp left to us by our friends now living at 17,000 camp. Thanks.
It was still tough, but our team held together well and turned in early for some much needed rest. Tomorrow we will most likely retrieve our cache and spend the afternoon relaxing and preparing for the fixed lines higher up. Cross your fingers for some high pressure. A week would be plenty.

To Christel, sister ever: du bist klasse! Ich bin unglaublich stolz auf dich und schicke all meine Gedanken, dass sie dich wärmen und dir Kraft und durchhaltevermögen (und notfalls eine Extraportion Sauerstoff) geben! Love, Tropf

Way to go, team. Sounds like everything is progressing smoothly, and most of your hauling is done. Enjoy the village in Genet basin. K, keep those fingers warm, and get yourself up there! Best view in the world awaits. Best. SB

Glad to hear you had a clear and calm day ..that’s gotta make sticking it out through the storms more worth it. I think my boss and friends may be getting tired of me excitingly telling them every single day the progress my dad and crew are making, on friggin’ Denali ..in Alaska!

Wow, the team is doing great. Hope you get the high pressure you want. Make sure you get plenty of pictures. Keeping our fingers crossed for an easy up and down. Glad you really haven’t dealt with having to sit and wait like some of the teams higher than you.
