No details yet, but the Spot Messenger shows that they’ve summited and made it back to camp. Stay tuned for a more detailed post after they’ve had a chance to rest. Another storm has come in, so wish them luck getting out.

   What a great accomplishment for the whole team. It took a lot of time, planning, research, practice, hard work, patience, good weather, and luck to have this great adventure. Thanks to the entire team and their assistants for the fantastic efforts that made this all possible. We cannot wait to see and hear more about the ascent and descent on that beautiful Denali day and evening. Be diligent and safe as the trip winds down… we look forward to seeing you soon!
   Congratulations!!

    Nice job, team. I was getting concerned about Lou’s “old man” talk in the previous post. Did you make any turns?

    Congrats to all of you from Beautiful Carbondale. Hope you remembered to read the Sopris Sun on the Summit??
    BTW Sopris has a new mantle of snow on her.

    Hi Lou,

    We are planning a trip to Denali this spring. Based on your experience this past spring would you have changed the timing of the trip. We are thinking of heading in the last week of May. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

    Thanks you

    John

    John, yeah, I think I would have liked to be up there a week or two later even. For skiing, so the upper mountain would of had a better snow coating instead of all that blue ice and avalanche prone snow.
