The team checked in late last night. They had just arrived back at their High Camp at the base of the Sultana Ridge. They were forced to turn around at about 16,500 ft due to the weather window closing down. Everyone was in good health and spirits. The guys gave it a great shot. There are many things we have no control over in the mountains, the weather certainly being one of them.
We are super proud of this crew and wish them a long comfy night's sleep and safe return back to civilization. They planned to sleep in today then begin making their way back toward Mount. Crosson and finally on to Basecamp. We look forward to seeing them in Talkeetna within a few days.
We'll continue to keep you posted until everyone is safely returned to Talkeetna. Thanks again for following the guys on their amazing journey up a remarkable climb.
Happy Trails!
