Trip Reports
The team checked in from the W. Rib and they are doing great. They’ve made a carry up as high as the 16,200 camp on the 6th. They hope to move up there in a couple of days, but it looks like some weather might be coming in for a few days. Here’s Marty. recording
The weather remained un cooperative up high on Denali over the last few days, and with a continued forecast of high winds the team made the decision to descend late yesterday. They spent last night at Camp 3 at 14,000 ft and plan to continue their descent towards base camp after breakfast this morning. Cason…
Today was beautiful up on Denali and the team had a nice mostly relaxing day. They had a leisurely breakfast and then went down the hill to 13,500 ft where they’d left a cache a few days earlier. They picked up the cache of food and fuel and carried back up to camp at 14,200…
They moved on up to Camp 3 at 14,200 ft on a beautiful day. It sounds like they are doing great and certainly happy to be moving up the mountain again. Here’s Kevin with the evening call from Camp 3. recording

The June 17th team is holding steady at high camp, waiting for an opportunity for a summit bid. Heavy cloud cover, wind and light snowfall has kept the team hunkered down. Waiting for the weather to clear is a difficult part of an expedition, and a good book sure comes in handy! We will keep…
Marty called in to report that the team made a carry to the plateau camp at 14,400 ft. They encountered high winds and cold temperatures, but everyone is doing well and feeling good. Here’s Marty: recording
Well the team made really good time, perhaps motivated by thoughts of food that was not prepared over a camp stove and beverages not made from melted snow. They arrived at Base Camp earlier today and caught a flight out to Talkeetna with our friends at Talkeetna Air Taxi. The team will spend the night…
The weather improved a bit this afternoon and the team was able to start their descent from high camp after a delay. They are at Camp 3 (14,200 ft) for the evening and intend to continue their descent early in the morning and hope to be in base camp in just another day or so.
