Although the beginning of this update is a bit muffled, we can make out that this is a climber calling from the June 9 West Buttress team at High Camp.
They noted that they will take another rest day at 17,200′, and intend to head for the summit of Denali tomorrow, weather permitting!
If anyone can recognize this climber’s voice, please let us know in the comments!
Yes. This is one of the guides, Blake Gordon.
Hi Arabella – best of luck with the summit climb – we are all thinking of you. We had three very hot days at Ascot and would rather have been somewhere cooler, like you! Lots of love M&D
