Day 3 - 18.06.21: Denali- settling in to mountain life...
June 18, 2021.
Day 3 on the mountain. Amazingly enough it took only 2 and half hour to break camp and be ready at four. Did I mention Bob and I were the first to be ready and had to help everyone else....Beautiful morning. We actually got split into a faster group and the slower one. Therefore the pace was much faster and this despite a heavier sled and pack then yesterday. We made the next camp in just over 2 hours. However this is another mid camp at 9000 feet; the same place where we cached our things - and we have not even made the 11000 feet which is usually reached in 2 days. I would say overall we are very slow group in ascending. Good news Bob is feeling better and it showed coming up.
PS: first encounter with the CMC: clean mountain canister. You can imagine what you do with it.......
