Lead guide Kyle Hornor called in the dispatch for the June 21 Denali expedition team that has been making steady progress up the West Buttress route and has landed at Camp 3 14,200 ft (4328 m) midway up the mountain. Since this team began their climb of the tallest peak in North America, Denali 20,300 ft (6187 m) (also known as Mount McKinley) Kyle says they’ve encountered just about every kind of weather possible but, now are finally enjoying some sun!
Everyone on the team is safe, happy, and sending well wishes to loved ones at home! They will update us when they are able to make moves to climb to the upper part of the mountain. Stay tuned.
