Legs Miserables carry to 10,000 ft

 

Good evening from Ski Hill Camp with team Legs Miserables. It’s May 23, today the team put some work in carrying loads to 10,000 feet. We made it to our cache site in just under five hours. The sun popped out to heat things up here and there but for the most part it was cloudy skies and cool winds taking for excellent conditions. Tomorrow we’ll move up to 11,000 foot camp, team is settling in and getting to know each other with lots of laughs and good conversation in the cook tent. We’re excited to move up higher on Denali, keep checking back in!
