Team Mitosis Are Cold Checks in From 11,200 Feet.

 

Hello there friends family and loved ones this is Team Mitosis are ‘Frozis’.  We’re checking in from 11,200 feet today. Actually the wind slowed down and we took advantage of that and took a load of food and fuel and extra gear, our high altitude stuff up and around Windy Corner. We got up early which was very advantageous for us as the wind picked up in the afternoon and instead of going through windy corner with the headwinds, an hour later it was a tailwind actually because we turned around. We made the cache at around 13,500 feet which sets us up in a good position for taking a rest day tomorrow and then the following day moving up entirely. So to 14, this is our next big camp. Everybody’s in pretty good spirits, happy to have not taking the window on the nose today and also happy you to be looking at the barrel of a rest day tomorrow so I told them to sleep in and we have breakfast around 9:00. so that’s pretty much it from here. Take it easy and stay tuned to the further adventures of Mitosis are Cold, 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, […]
