Denali Expedition: Hahn & Team Move Camp

Elevation: 9,700'
The skies were clear early this morning, and so it was the perfect time to leave basecamp as the snow surface was nicely frozen and travel was "easy". We were roped up and on our way by 4 AM, watching the sunlight play on the upper slopes of Mts Foraker and Hunter. Glacier conditions were excellent. There were few open crevasses, and the route was fairly direct. We pulled into our destination -the base of "ski hill" - in just four and a half hours.
Camp then went up relatively quickly and we got in out of the intense midday sun for some quality naps. A breeze came up in the evening, but by then we'd built a dining tent and were able to enjoy dinner in peace.
We intend to make a carry tomorrow, to 10,000 ft if possible.
Best Regards,
