Denali 2022: Dude, Where is My Sled Summits!

Hey everyone this is Steven again with Team Dude Where’s my Sled. I’m happy to report we made the summit today and are now back down at 17 camp! Was kind of a chilly blustery day up there but everyone did a good job keeping themselves safe and we’re all happy to be back down here at 17 camp! Sorry for the late call, it took a while to warm up the sat phone enough to get a call out. Tomorrow we’re gonna sleep in a bit and then kinda let it warm up and start down the mountain hoping to make it down to 11 but 14 be good too. So that’s the plan!

Julia was clearly on the same wavelength because just a few weeks before, […]
