Hi everyone,

Aaron from the June 16th WB expedition with a final update from the team. The team returned to civilization and flip-flops on June 28th after a wonderful trip up and down Denali’s West Buttress. John, Sam, and I are all grateful for the support of our family and friends and are looking forward to seeing everyone soon.

The trip was a whirlwind of highs with a side of hip bruises. Highlights included a lovely warm summit day with good skiing from the tippy top of North America, endless games of Farkle, and all the joys associated with successful teamwork.

Till next time!

Aaron Diamond
