The team checked in Saturday evening to say they have established a camp on Mount Crosson. The crew put in a huge day pushing to about 10,800 ft on the ridge. Billmeier said the group enjoyed a big dinner and turned in early. Everyone is doing well and working super hard together for their common goal.
This is one of the most remarkable places in the park to climb. You are right in the middle of everything happening at basecamp and the lower part of the West Buttress route, but you are so far away from it all. The views of Denali are top notch. After the team passes over the summit of Crosson they will descend slightly then face a huge traversing section as they make their way toward the Sultana Ridge of Foraker.
On Sunday the team will likely go back down to the Gendarme Camp to retrieve their cache which was put in a few days ago, then climb back up to their current camp. The team wishes to say hello to everyone following them. Until next time...happy trails!
