Elevation: 11,200'

Sunday, May 26, 2013 Mike Walter & crew rolled into 11,200' Camp tonight at dinner time looking surprisingly good for just having summited and descending from 17,200' today. They're planning on getting an alpine start tonight in order to descend the lower Kahiltna Glacier while it's frozen. They'll be drinking beers and eating steak soon. Our hats are off to the entire team. Congratulations all! RMI Guide Brent Okita
