Mt. McKinley: Jones & Team’s First Night at 14K Camp

After surviving our first chilly night at 14K Camp, everyone walked into the posh this morning to the sweet smell of blueberry pancakes. Cooking at 14,000ft is quite difficult on any day but Tyler made pancakes that would have made Grandpa Jerry proud.
Post breakfast we took advantage of the nice weather and prepared our camp for a nuclear winter. Hopefully the weather will stay nice but if not we are prepared for the worst. After our wall building session we did some more training for the upper mountain.
The guides set up a fixed-line obstacle course that everyone marched around in like a group of trained gorillas.
Tomorrow we hope to carry to the top of the fixed lines, but as always, we will see what Mother Nature brings.

Congrats to all for your new found height! I am in awe of all. Went golfing in Victor Utah today. Sunny and 76 is good anywhere I suppose
