It's another beautiful day on Mt.

Once back at Camp they will get a short break before continuing the final 4,000' to Paradise.

Nice work team!

After a hard fought summit day 100% of the team made it to the tallest point in North America! The following day we descended all the way from 17,000 ft to our very first camp: ski hill at 7,600 ft. We got a quick nap in and now are beating the heat and walking into the early morning cold to the airstrip  to return back to Talkeetna!
