Trip Reports
The May 12 Team had a relaxing morning and a big breakfast before heading back down to pick up their cache of supplies just a little bit back down the hill.  It took them only a couple of hours to retrieve everything and get back to camp. We consider this
The team had a beautiful day moving up from Camp 2 around Windy Corner and into the Genet Basin and Camp 3.  They are doing great and settling in for a few days at this elevation to get acclimated and ready for the upper mountain. Ashley called in the expedition
The team enjoyed a beautiful day moving up from Camp 2, around Windy Corner and up into the Genet Basin to the 14,200ft Camp 3. They are settled in for a couple of nights now and will acclimatize and recover before pushing up higher on the mountain. Matt called in
The May 20 Team is doing great and spent the day carrying a load of supplies up to 10,000ft where they dug a hole in the snow and cached it to be retrieved in a few days.  They returned to their camp at 7,800ft for another night.  It was a

The team put their next cache of supplies into the snow at 13,500 ft today, up near Camp 3, and descended back to Camp 2 to spend the night.  They are ready to move on up to Camp 3 tomorrow at 14,200ft if everything goes well.  The climbers are all
The climbers packed everything up and climbed up around Windy Corner and continued to Camp 3 at 14,200 ft! This is always an important move and the summit comes into view and starts to look attainable by the time you get that high.  It's still over 6000 vertical feet above
The May 20th Denali Mountain Trip Expedition is on the mountain!  They flew into basecamp yesterday and are already up in Camp 1 tonight.  The first day is a busy one, they meet at 6 am at the hotel in Anchorage to load up the Mountain Trip van and trailer
The guides, Matt and Kaylee, carried loads of supplies up to Camp 3 at 14,200 ft today on their ski's so they could enjoy a bit of a ski back down to 11k.  Jenn was able to enjoy a day off at 11,000 and enjoyed the company of another Mountain
The May 8 team has endured their share of bad weather on Denali over the last couple of weeks, but it looks like it is about to pay off.  They spent another day at the 14,200 camp today as the weather moved out and the forecast looks better for tomorrow.
