They got their break in the weather today and went for the summit. Mel had cold feet this morning and had to turn around with our guide Mike, I'm sure she's a bit bummed, but frostbite is no joke. The rest of the crew reached the summit at 7pm tonight, and I just got the call from Durny at 8:30 pm that they are back at high camp!! Everyone is safe and sound and they skied off the top of Denali all the way back down to the 17,200 ft camp. This was the first guided ski trip off the summit of Denali, so Congratulations to all involved.
Here's the call from the summit.
Great success for the team, sorry that Mel had to miss out on the summit.

ReplyDeleteSorry you did not make it all the way. We are tremendously proud of you and your efforts! Remember, it is the journey not the destination matters life, so keep on trucking. Lots of love from the kiddies in Bozeman!!
P.S. Congrats to the team on reaching the top!!
Congratulations to the whole team! Quite the adventure you have been on and making Denali history. Sorry about Mel...but sounded like there might be another attempt for her and Mike. That I do hope for, but stay warm whatever you do!
