Our Denali expeditions are 21 days long. We pull sleds and double carry between camps. The up and back between camps is necessary to move the enormous amount food, fuel and gear necessary to climb such a high mountain. We also benefit form these double carries in that it is great for acclimatization. This is a photo of the spetacular summit ridge, with Mt. Foraker in the background.
This Photo was taken on the ridge between 16,200' and 17,200', the large rock tower is named Washburns Thumb. This ridge is one of the most spectacular parts of the climb. The exposure is thrilling, the climbing is fun and the views are unforgetable.
Denali base camp, the prominent buttress in the background is the famous Moon-flower buttress of Mt. Hunter. You really can't beat the scenery here; in one direction Mt. Hunter, across the valley Mt. Foraker and behind the looming Giant, Denali.
While waiting for a couple of other teams to get around the short fixed lines below the thumb, Todd decides to climb on top and check things out from there! That is Mt. Foraker in the Background.
