Mt. McKinley: Beren & Team Enjoy Their Rest Day

June 14, 2013

Posted by: Jake Beren, Leon Davis, Josh Maggard

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Denali

Elevation: 14,200'

Friday, June 14, 2013 It sure felt nice for the team to get a little extra time in sleeping bags this morning before an epic pancake and bacon breakfast. Then it was off to practice for the fixed lines and Autobahn just outside of camp. The team is primed and ready for moving up on the mountain, skills sharp and energy high. After a siesta, we will take a stroll over to the Edge of the World and take in the sights nearly 7,000 feet down the NE Fork o the Kahiltna before dinner. Not a bad day up here at all.

I can’t wait to see pictures from the trip. Don’t forget to take lots of both mental and physical pictures. Edge of the world sounds breathtakingly beautiful. I want to hear all of the stories and your musings as you reach unfathomable heights. After browsing through the photos online I am reminded of the feeling of being above the clouds and how other worldly it must feel for you. The other team made it to 17k after a 3 day wait and apparently there isn’t much snow left as the wind took care of that, leaving only firm ice. I hope the weather will be calmer for you, allowing a safe and easy climb up to 16k. Thinking of you R
