Peraponken Peak Patrol Caches Gear at for High Camp

Hello & Namaste Everyone,

Checking in from 14K camp, it’s our day 3 at this camp. Today we carried and cached to the top of fixed line and also got some acclimatization. Weather was not that great compared to what we were enjoying in lower camps, however we enjoyed the climbed to the top of fixed line 16K.

There is some weather coming in so we are planning to wait here at 14K camp for the next couple of days or until it’s looks favorable to move up to high camp at 17K which is also the highest camp on Denali. Good thing is we already carried and cached our needed food and fuel for the high camp and now we will be just waiting for the weather to open to head up and go for the summit.

We will keep it posted. Thanks for following along. Love to all back home.

    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, […]
