The June 1st team had a big day on the mountain, climbing up from 14 Camp (14,200 ft / 4,328 m) to cache gear on the 16,000 ft ridge (4,877 m) — a major step toward High Camp and the summit.
The route took them to the base of the Sheridan Headwall, where the crew clipped into the fixed lines and got hands-on with the more technical climbing systems used above this point. For many, it was their first taste of roped travel on steep alpine terrain — and they crushed it.
As expected, mountain weather was all over the place — swinging from hot sun to biting cold in true Denali fashion.
The team is back safe at camp, sending love to everyone back home and wishing a very Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there 💙
