On April 27, 2008 a team of climbers will meet in Anchorage, Alaska in order to attempt to climb to the top of North America.
The summit of Denali (Mount McKinley) is the one of the famed Seven Summits and soars 20.320 feet above sea level. This team will spend up to three weeks working their way up the mountain from a base camp located at 7,200'. Due to it's proximity to the Arctic Circle, Denali is notorious for its ferocious weather and extreme cold. For many climbers, it is the challenge of a lifetime.
The team will include:
Tom Ceglia from Durango, Colorado
Roy Clegg from South Africa
Carrie Gibson from the UK
James Haydock from the UK
Mountain Trip guides for the expedition will be Heidi Kloos from Ridgway, Colorado and Zach Johnson from Anchorage, Alaska.
We will post updates as they are available, however due to weather and the big mountains surrounding the team for much of the climb, communications with the team may not occur on a daily basis. Please keep in mind the axiom of "no news is good news."
We can not guarantee that any comments posted to this blog will reach the climbers on the mountain, If you do wish to pass along any news, please call or email the Mountain Trip Office at info@mountaintrip.com or +1-970-369-1153.
Enjoy the posts!
