Denali 2021: Team Bushwood making big moves

 

Yesterday we woke up to 8 inches of snow but we were able to forge our way up through the clouds to our cache site at 13,500 ft and made a depot! Today June 17th, we had an incredible day moving to our advanced base camp at 14,200 ft! Stunning views all the way up. Good thing we had a big pizza dinner yesterday as we needed all of our energy making the move to 14,200 ft. The team is a bit tired but did incredibly well making the big move. We have Indian food for dinner and looking forward to a relaxing day tomorrow!

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