Denali Expedition: Hailes & Team Make a Carry to 13,500’
May 31, 2018 - 7:26 pm PT
Another beautiful day on Denali, which we started by singing happy birthday to Chip and we finished by making a no bake birthday cheesecake (we can only do so much at 11,200ft). Along with the birthday festivities, we are really enjoying this stretch of nice days as we move higher on the mountain. Today as we carried a big load of supplies to our cache spot at 13,500ft, we all felt the previous four days of hard work. Everyone climbed in good style but it was clear that it is time for a rest day, tomorrow we sleep in, hang out at camp and catch up on our reading and movies.
Best wishes from Denali,
RMI Guide Walter Hailes

Chip - as your partner and colleague I can’t tell you how impressed I am for what you (and your friends!) are taking on. As someone who has had a lifelong fascination with Everest and watched every special, documentary, movie, and read every book on that little hill, I can only imagine what you all are experiencing.
Happy birthday, and stay safe - all of you. Looking forward to the pictures and stories when you return!
