<\/a>Coming into Denali's14000ft Camp.<\/p><\/div>\n
IMG Senior Guide, Greg Vernovage, checked in yesterday from 14,000\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 on Denali.\u00c2\u00a0 On Tuesday, the team made the move up to this camp which is the defector advanced base camp on Denali.\u00c2\u00a0 It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a big basin underneath the West Buttress and West Rib.\u00c2\u00a0 Reasonably sheltered with lots of room to move around.\u00c2\u00a0 The NPS has a seasonal ranger presence here.<\/p>\n
Greg said weather at 11,000\u00e2\u20ac\u2122, their previous camp, was a bit pissy.\u00c2\u00a0 Clouds with some snow.\u00c2\u00a0 Their move around Windy Corner was a tad windy but, again, this team did well and handled the big move without any real issues.\u00c2\u00a0 The plan for yesterday was what we call a back carry.\u00c2\u00a0 They moved down from 14K with empty backs and pick up things which were cached a couple of days ago.\u00c2\u00a0 Extra food, more fuel and a handful of personal items generally makes up the cache.\u00c2\u00a0 Usually takes about an hour to get down to the cache. It’ll be buried deep for protection from annoying ravens so they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll do a bit of digging, distribute the stuff, load up and walk back to 14,000\u00e2\u20ac\u2122.\u00c2\u00a0 The day serves as an \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcactive rest\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 day.\u00c2\u00a0 They got a little exercise but didn’t likely burn too much energy.<\/p>\n
They\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll have at least 4 nights at 14K so they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll make sure the camp is secure.\u00c2\u00a0 Secure means good snow walls.<\/p>\n
Greg reports that he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s got a strong crew and a crew who works well together.\u00c2\u00a0 That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s nice.\u00c2\u00a0 They wished all of us a Happy Fourth and I know from a fair amount of personal experience that 14,000\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 is a pretty cool place to spend our country\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Independence Day.<\/p>\n
