May 11 West Buttress team holding at High Camp, forecast did not cooperate to summit 5/26

Mountain Trip guide Kristin Arnold called in an update for the May 11 Denali West Buttress team at 17,200′. Unfortunately, the team woke up to make their summit push yesterday 5/26 and found that the weather was not appropriate for the approximately 12-hour day needed to make the push up to 20,310′ and back.

The same story goes for the May 8 and May 10 Dagg West Buttress teams, also at High Camp, hoping for a summit window today 5/27. We will update you all when they decide to head for the summit.

Here’s Kristin!
