I should hear from Scott late tonight to hear about their progress. The plan was for them to climb yesterday from Base Camp on the Kahiltna Glacier (7,200 ft.) up to Camp I (7,800 ft.), affectionately known as "Ski Hill." Even though the elevation gain is not much, this is a distance of ~5 miles, so it's a long tedious day. They hoped to reach Camp II by tonight, which is at 9,700 ft. so I will let you know if they met that schedule and how they're doing.
Between updates from the guys, I will post some information about Mount McKinley for your reading pleasure. Enjoy and keep them warm in your thoughts!
