The crew rested today at the 14,200 ft. camp. Everyone is doing well and feeling a little stronger every day. The typical rest day starts with a healthy session of sleeping in. Then a huge breakfast and several rounds of hot drinks. Ahhh, total luxury! Next maybe some time to relax and prep for a short stroll out the the "edge of the world". A remarkable place offering breath taking views into the NE Fork of the Kahiltna, across to the West Rib, and out toward Hunter. This vista also offers a nice retrospective of the first half of the route, up the Kahiltna. After filling SD cards and draining camera batteries, it's back to camp.
The afternoon starts with a large hot lunch then more hot drinks. It's most important to sneak in a nap during the afternoon followed be some packing and prep for the big move tomorrow up to High Camp at 17,200 ft. Round out the day with a big dinner and, of course, more hot drinks. Early to be for a good night sleep.
Until next time...make it a good day!
Happy Trails.
