Denali 2022: Donari Six Pack Has a Cache Day

 

“Hi friends this is Don from Team Donari Six Pack today. We took a cache of gear from our 11,000 foot camp and went up to Motorcycle Hill, around Squirrel Hill, through the Polo Fields and up around the Windy Corner, which was very pleasantly not very windy at all today, and cached about half of our equipment in a giant hole in the snow at 13,500 feet. Then we descended back down to camp. Weather continues to be absolutely amazing. Not a cloud in the sky, super warm and usually great weather for us here, and the team continues to rock stars. Everybody’s very fit and we’re getting to our goals faster than we were expecting to – everybody is doing a great job eating well and acclimatizing well and if the weather forecast holds tomorrow we’ll move to our next level at 14200 feet. Look forward to talking to you soon, thanks for following along. Cheers.”

  • Denali ’24 in a Nutshell

    Submission by Jess, Alaska Operations. When I touched down in Talkeetna this year, greeted by sunny skies and perfect weather, I couldn’t help but feel hopeful for a smoother forecast for Denali climbing season compared to the previous year’s relentlessly poor weather. Julia was clearly on the same wavelength because just a few weeks before, […]
