11,000 ft Camp

Ken Williams is near 11,000ft camp with the team on the acclimatization climb. Ken was able to send a very short satellite phone call earlier to say that the connection was poor at camp. He would try to reach us all again in the near future, as the team continues to ascend. Below are photos sent by the team members that show the approximate location of where they are currently. Photos are from the 2012 and previous field work that has led up to the current expedition.

Thanks for staying tuned in!

In addition to the team doing scientific research, there are mountain climbing teams also taking the same route to ascend Denali. You can see folks heading up the mountain on the left side of this photo.

Motorcycle Hill at about 11,000ft.

While in transit, the team will often rope together for safety. This photo can give you a glimpse of why this is important. All team members are well-trained to work together in these situations. Every safety precaution is taken into account.
