Mt. McKinley: Hahn & Team Make Carry to 10,000’

July 1, 2014

Posted by: Ben Liken, Dave Hahn, Sean Collon

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Denali

Elevation: 9,000'

June 30, 2014 - 9:44pm PT Hey Everybody! Last night we got our first taste of Denali weather as a wet snow fell, dusting our camp with six fresh inches. The little storm began to lift after a leisurely breakfast of bacon, eggs, and hash browns and we were soon able to pack our bags for a carry to 10,000' feet. Along the hike we witness spectacular views down the Kahiltna Glacier and up to the start of the West Buttress. We are now back in camp resting and awaiting a tasty dinner of tortellini prepared by Zach. All is well here in the great north as the sun splashes some light into our dinning tent. Thanks for following along! RMI Guide Ben Liken

What an amazing view!!!!! It’s hard to imagine all that snow coming down when you see spectacular sunshine like that.

Following you on the web’s Denali cam—often looks cold and cloudy but that may be deceiving looking from below. Hope spirits and feet are in good shape. Furnace hot in Potsdam NY.
