I just got a call from Dave Ahrens at 11,000 feet. They moved up today, and despite some sore feet, everyone is doing pretty well. They plan to spend 3 nights at this camp, so they settled in and built a comfy camping spot. They are now getting up off of the Kahiltna glacier, and the views just keep getting better from here on up.
Camp 2 is located in a big, glacial bowl with a steep snow slope called Motorcycle Hill rising above them to the east and tremendous views of Kahiltna Dome and Mount Foraker to the west and south. Gigantic seracs or ice blocks tower along the side of this camp and turn a sublime orange and pink when the sun works its way toward the horizon in the evening.
