Climbing Denali, Day 6

Post categories:

Graham Gillies | 12:34 UK time, Monday, 8 June 2009

Report from Mark over sat phone. Sunday 7th June, 1am Alaska time, Motorcycle Hill. Rest day.

Yesterday, we had a 5 hour round trip to to bring all the gear from Upper Kahiltna Glacier. Weather today is cold, sunny and clear - really beautiful scenery.

The tents are in a fairly small, wanded 'safe area' from crevasses. Everyone is feeling well. The two guides, Melis and her husband Joey are looking after us really well with a balance of hard work and discipline, but also good food and fun.

There's also another update from Mark's expedition leader on their blog.
