Lead guide Matt Park calling in with incredible news from the top of North America — the June 7th Rapid Ascent Team has reached the summit of Denali (20,310 ft / 6,190 m)!
The weather is holding — just barely — so they’re keeping it brief before beginning their descent. Spirits are sky-high as the team celebrates this massive achievement after a strong, fast-paced climb up the West Buttress.
From the summit, climbers shared heartfelt shout-outs to loved ones back home. This moment is one they’ll never forget.
Congrats to the entire team on an incredible effort — now wishing them a safe and steady descent.
