yourselves. Nicely done!
…..super, super….strooooooong!!!!
What a fantastic climb! Nice work. That’s not the route I could try, but
that was quite inspirational. I plan on doing the West Buttress route in
summer 2016 which seems ridiculously simple in comparison to this video.
Denali has the most wonderful shades of granite and the whitest purest
tones of snow. To me it is the most beautiful mountain in the world
(except when it rains) -just stunning to hike, climb and fly around -rising
from the sea to the boreal forests to the tundra and bright green foothills
to the glaciers, baby blue lakes, in the summer 3000 ft waterfalls falling
from minor cirques above the Ruth Glacier, to the just massive granite
faces and seracs in a perpetual frozen winterland.
I’ve been lucky to circle it for hours enjoying the sights in a private
jet on a perfectly clear day which is ultra rare there at the summits of
Denali and Foraker. Also lucky to explore the trails and bouldering on
foot and from a little prop plane barreling through the seemingly endless
ridges, cols, and gorges that emanate out 20-40 miles in each direction
under the summit.
Denali is also the largest mass you can experience in person on Earth -it
really defies proportion -to stand under it is get a new sense of scale.
If you have never been to Denali -do yourself a favor and go -those
Glaciers have been disappearing extremely fast and who knows what the
future climate will bring.
excellent
