We are off the mountain after a week of particularly rough weather at High Camp.
Sometimes it just comes down to luck... Everyone on the team did a great job of moving up to high camp, and putting us in position to head for the summit, but Denali didn't cooperate. I think everyone felt a bit worse for wear after spending soo many days tent bound at over 17,000 feet. We finally got a couple hour lull in the wind on Thursday evening, and decided to head down before the next storm roared thru in full force. Looking at the upper mountain on our way out, we were all very happy to be down lower enjoying the views of the wind and lenticular clouds that encompassed Denali for the last several weeks.
We enjoyed a team dinner with the remnants of our crew in Anchorage on Monday night, and everyone is headed home soon.
Congratulations guys, you gave it a great shot and should feel proud of what you did. (summit rate this year is still at about %30)
Good luck to the rest of our teams, the weather has to change at some point...
