Back From Denali

After waiting for several days at high camp, we ended up without another summit window. We had to decent due to lack of food, fuel, and wanting to get down to thicker air. We made it back down the mountain in three days fighting wind and fierce blowing snow conditions. Once back at base camp we were able to get a flight off the glacier the same day. It was a challenging trip as always and it was a little disappointing not to reach the summit however I know the decision I made were wise ones. I ended the trip safe and with all my fingers and toes and can climb another day. A full trip report will be posted shortly.
