- Ski Hill Camp
Denali as seen from Ski Hill camp (it's the big peak in the center-right). This was our first view of the mountain — until now it had been hidden by clouds. The West Rib is below and to the right of the summit, and is just catching the sun on its crest. Before attempting the West Rib we were planning to acclimatize on the West Buttress. This route goes out of sight to the left of this photo before doubling back to the right. - Kahiltna Glacier
Passing some old campsites at about 9,500' on the Kahiltna Glacier, above Ski Hill. As you can see the weather was starting to deteriorate. - Squirrel Hill
Re-ascending Squirrel Hill with the rest of our gear on our second carry to 14,200'. - Summit Day
I reached the summit at about 4:45pm and stayed for just a few minutes as the weather was deteriorating rapidly. It was bitterly cold and I only managed to get this one mediocre photo before my camera battery froze. Unfortunately Gordon was still several hours behind me and he had to turn around on account of the deteriorating weather. - Image_154.jpg
