May 18 West Buttress Team – At 17,000′ and Going for the Summit!

Lead Guide, Karl Welter called in last night under the midnight sun from high camp at 17,000′. The team experienced a windy, snowy morning at high camp that dissipated in to clear, windless skies. The team plans to summit today, so here’s wishing the team the best of luck and conditions! Hopefully the next dispatch from the May 18 will be from the summit of Denali!

  4. Congratulations to the entire Mountain Trip team and Cameron on reaching the summit. It seems the conditions were less than ideal and that you were able to push on to the top is an amazing accomplishment. I am sure you are looking forward to good hot meal. I can’t wait to hear all about your journey.
    Be safe on the way down….

    • Hi David,
      Have you heard from the team that they made it to the summit? I didn’t see any update, but maybe you have a special information source 🙂
      Looking forward to the next dispatch!
