Summit!

The team made a 5:30am departure from high camp and went for the summit, taking advantage of unusually warm temperatures and Alaska's excess of daylight to make a ten-hour round trip summit of Denali. Everyone performed great and hit the weather window perfectly, just ahead of a few forecast low pressure systems. When I talked to Jacob this afternoon the team was packing up camp in preparation to move down to 14 camp tonight; the plan is for the team to try to move down to basecamp tomorrow and fly as soon as the weather permits. The range is socked in at lower elevations right now, but change is the norm and let's all hope for some flyable weather!
