We woke up this morning to blustery but clear skies. With ridge top winds ripping all around us we decided to dig in before getting underway. The team learned about wall building and tidying up camp before separating all of their gear to be carried. Then we were off! Bright skies and a stiff breeze gave us great conditions to schlep our loads up toward Kahiltna Pass. The great visibility highlighted the big three: Hunter, Foraker and Denali standing tall against the wind. After a quick transition we had a load of gear stashed in the ground and were returning back to camp to hide away for the rest of the day.

Hi Tyler -
Good luck with this years team! I still have great memories of our 2011 and 2012 expeditions.

You better be helping Tyler, Caleb, and Blake dig caches, tent platforms, and kitchens. Shoveling snow builds character.
