We left 14 today. Wind and snow. made it to the base of ski hill. Set up camp, had dinner. Hope to continue to the airstrip tomorrow!
Haikus of a Denali Descent
Downhill we trotted
To the airstrip we plotted
Stopped short at ski hill
Wind blowing so far
Windy corner not that hard
Our team is so strong
Talkeetna awaits
Hopes of flying tomorrow
One more stretch to go

We know you all must be disappointed about not getting to the Summit. But Denali’s conditions are notoriously unpredictable, and you met every challenge with immense courage, skill, and endurance. You should absolutely be proud of your resilience in the face of such harsh conditions. What’s clear from the daily blogs is that you will all return with incredible memories, lasting friendships, and valuable new skills for your next mountain challenges.
