Our last team of the season reached the summit!

Our last Denali team of the 2009 season reached the summit on a picture perfect, warm and sunny day!

Jacob Schmitz called to say that he was enjoying an amazing from the highest point in north America. The team made good time to the summit and the first rope teams found it so warm that they posed for some shirtless summit shots. Shirtless at 20,2030 feet in Alaska? That's almost unheard of...

Congratulations to all the climbers for their hard work and great effort.

This wraps up our 2009 season. we were able to put 11 out of 14 West Buttress expeditions on the summit, despite a month of horrendous weather in May and early June.

We'll post a 2009 season recap shortly. Please check out all of our expedition dispatches HERE.
