Mt. McKinley: Jones & Team Return to Civilization

June 17, 2015

Posted by: Lindsay Mann, Tyler Jones, Chase Nelson

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Denali

Elevation: 348'

This morning we woke up at 1 am to enjoy our last morning on the glacier. As we left 11,000' camp the sky was a mixture of pink, purple and blues. After our final push we arrived at base camp this morning at 7:30 am. A few hours later after enjoying another spectacular flight, we found ourselves hot in Talkeetna, suddenly aware of how badly we smelled. Everyone spent the afternoon transitioning back into the real world, getting in touch with family and enjoying a shower. Tonight we are looking forward to a celebratory dinner and getting a view of the mountain that we stood atop just a few days ago. Congratulations to the entire team and to Geoff and Eric's team on a successful trip! RMI Guide Lindsay Mann
