On June 8, 2008 a team of climbers will meet in Anchorage, Alaska in order to attempt to climb to the top of North America.
The summit of Denali (Mount McKinley) is the one of the famed Seven Summits and soars 20.320 feet above sea level. This team will spend up to three weeks working their way up the mountain from a base camp located at 7,200'. Due to it's proximity to the Arctic Circle, Denali is notorious for its ferocious weather and extreme cold. For many climbers, it is the challenge of a lifetime.
The team will include:
Paul Rudy from the US
Chris Urgo from the US
Francois Levasseur from Canada
Adam Martindale from the UK
Paul Marron from the UK
Jeff Micale from the US
David Clark from the US
Angus Riddle from the UK
Sue Large from the US
Mountain Trip guides for the expedition will be Zach Schlosar from Anchorage, Alaska, Washington, Greg Nappi from Girdwood, Alaska, and Adam Smith from Anchorage, Alaska.
We will post updates as they are available, however due to weather and the big mountains surrounding the team for much of the climb, communications with the team may not occur on a daily basis. Please keep in mind the axiom of "no news is good news."
