It was a windy night at high camp, followed by a windy day. More importantly, it was still too windy up on Denali's South Peak for us to make an attempt. Low level clouds have come in, obscuring our views of many of the surrounding mountains. We still have hope for improved conditions tomorrow, but that will likely be our last shot at the top. Given all that, the team has stayed upbeat and excited for a chance to climb.
Best Regards,
RMI Guide Dave Hahn & Team

I heard it was a rough day and had to turn back. Job well done to get that far Tony!! I opted for some Double Rye with a friend last night and will do the bourye when you’re down safely! Congrats on what I assume is your altitude record? In TKPhi and Stay safe - Mark

Good luck up there Katie! If it helps dealing with the wind and cold, it’s way too hot back in SoCal so we’d welcome some cold air!

Praying for you team! Hang in there! Dad, be glad you are caught in a wind storm on Denali. It saved you from having to watch the presidential debate or give Lammy his morning belly rub! I’m so proud of you! Love, Becca.
