The team checked in to report they made a carry over the summit of Mount Crosson (12,800 ft) and placed a cache at 11,700 ft on the other side. Monday night was spent back at their camp at 10,800 ft on the Southeast Ridge of Crosson. The plan is to move camp past the summit of Crosson today. Everyone is doing well and in great spirits. They wish to say hello to everyone following their journey.
The route from here will include a bunch of up and down as they will more or less be traversing to the base of the summit ridge on Foraker. The next big objective for the group will be to get over another small peak along the ridge, Peak 12,472. After that it's nearly 5 miles to the base of the summit ridge. The following days will include some remarkable climbing for this group. As they work along the ridge, the North side of Denali National Park sprawls toward eternity on the right and the heart of the Central Alaska Range sits to the left.
Until next time...make it a great day!
