Moving on up to High Camp!

The last Mountain Trip Denali Expedition of the 2008 season is moving one step closer to the top today.  They took a rest/acclimitization day yesterday, and right now are climbing up the ridge (in the picture below) and on their way to high camp at 17,200ft.  

This ridge is the West Buttress of Denali, and is some of the most technical climbing of the whole route.  They should be reaching camp this evening, and the weather is reported to be nice today.   

I'll update when we get the evening Sat Phone call from our guides.
