Mt. McKinley: Upper West Rib Team Moves to 7,600’
June 2, 2014 - 9:56 pm PT
We woke up early this morning, broke camp and set off down the southeast fork of the Kahiltna Glacier. By 7:00 AM we turned to the north and began making our way up the main flow of the Kahiltna, snowshoeing through some of the towering mountains of the great Alaska range. We arrived to the 7,600' camp at the base of Ski Hill at 11:30 AM with a light wind helping to keep us cool during the heat of the day. The afternoon was spent snacking, drinking water, and napping. We just finished a delicious burrito dinner and are enjoying the views over a cup of hot cocoa.
Good night everyone and thanks for following along.
