Denali 2022: Team Donari Six Pack enjoys the mountain views

 

Hey everyone this is Ari with the Donari 6 Pack. We are still at our first camp at 7600 feet. Today we took about half of our gear and climbed up to around 10,000 feet and cache it- dug a big hole, dropped it all and re buried it and then came back down to our camp where it was really nice out we all sat outside and had a leisurely pizza dinner while just taking in the amazing views of all the surrounding peaks. Our plans for tomorrow is to pack up camp here and move our whole group all the way up to 11,200 foot camp and re rebuild camp up there. We will check in with you guys tomorrow. Thanks for following along!

Julia was clearly on the same wavelength because just a few weeks before, […]
