Mitosis are Cold move towards 11,200 camp

 

Hey there friends, family, and loved ones. This is team Mitosis are cold. Reporting in from our fourth camp on the mountain we’re at 9600 feet above sea level on the main fork of the Kahiltna glacier in sunny weather. We’ve had a very nice push up from Camp at the bottom of Ski Hill. We’re about half way to our 11,200 camp. We can actually see Kahiltna pass just about an hour or so, hour and a half in front of us to the North. So that’s our plan- going up there and turn the corner and go up 11,200 with the food fuel and extra gear for tomorrow. Everybody seems to have a great appetite we making good good mileage and basically enjoying each other’s company so it doesn’t get much better than that, good weather, good friends, good food and speaking of good food- I have to say Amy’s date balls or some of the finest I’ve ever had my life I can’t hardly wait for summit day boy be nice to have one of those in my pocket. Anyway thanks very much guys for tuning in all, we are getting ready to go to bed here I just wanted to make sure that you knew that we’re doing fine everybody’s wishing their family all the good things in life. Talk to you again tomorrow ciao ciao for now.

  • Denali ’24 in a Nutshell

    Submission by Jess, Alaska Operations. When I touched down in Talkeetna this year, greeted by sunny skies and perfect weather, I couldn’t help but feel hopeful for a smoother forecast for Denali climbing season compared to the previous year’s relentlessly poor weather. Julia was clearly on the same wavelength because just a few weeks before, […]
