Mt. McKinley: Upper West Rib Team Caches Gear at 9,600’
Sunday, May 31st 11:16 p.m. PDT
The team got a late start this morning after a middle of the night arrival at 7,800 ft camp. Breakfast took the majority of the morning, but eventually we loaded up a portion of our food and gear to make the three-hour trip up the glacier to cache our load. Everyone did well despite the heavy packs, and we are looking forward to the them lighter and lighter as we eat more food.
This evening we were able to congratulate both Mike Walter and Pete Van Deventer's teams who are on their way down from the summit.

Hey Kim…you guys are off to a great start. Be sure to eat your snacks to make your pack lighter. To bad you don’t have some of that olive oil from base camp off Aconcagua. :-) Cheers,Cindee

Hi Kim, We really look forward to the excellent daily updates. Given the favorable weather, it appears that the team is moving at a great pace! We keep waiting for the pack mules to come to the “rescue”. Go Team! Love, Dad
