We'll start this blog by wishing lead guide, Rob Durnell (Durny), a happy birthday. I think Durny mentioned this to be his 15th trip or so with MT, B-day at Camp 2 is becoming a regular thing for him. Hope it's a good one!
The team had a relatively warm day for their move to Camp 2. Everybody did very well, enjoyed a huge dinner, and settled in for a good night's rest. Travel conditions were quite favorable for the move.
Friday will be a pretty casual day. The crew will likely sleep in then enjoy a great breakfast at their new home. Later in the morning they will go back down to pick up their cache from a couple days ago. Upon arrival back at camp they will be "established" at Camp 2 with all their food and fuel.
Today's trivia question: The mountain is frequently called either Denali or Mount McKinley. Give me the origin and cultural significance of each.
Until next time...raise a PBR for Durny!

Hi Denali team,
ReplyDeletewishing you all, and especially Neil Williams, a safe and successful climb up there. Neil, hold somebody's hand right now because I need to tell you something...Cameron is likely to make a deal with the Lib Dems and be your next Prime Minister. It's alright to cry pet, let the tears out. I miss you, I'm sending you lots of good thoughts up there. Love Ciara x
Rob, have a happy birthday. Have presents for you when you get back to civilization. Thinking about Seward on the beachfront for Memorial Day.
