Hey all,
Any 2013 Denali climbers out there? My soon-to-be wife and I are heading up to Denali May 24 - June 16 for an independent attempt on the West Buttress. We’re excited about the social aspect of the route with lots of likeminded folks enjoying a challenging climb. I’ve done numerous Cascade volcanos multiple times and some of my favorite trips are up the trade routes (eg DC on Rainier) because of the social atmosphere in the camps and on the mountain. So speak up if you’ll be up there this spring/summer and let’s get the party started!
For those of you that have been up there, any good tips? Especially food recipes! We’re looking for some tasty options, what were your favorite meals up there? Also, any unusual gear secrets? My soon-to-be wife and I are pretty dialed with glacier travel, crevasse rescue, etc but always looking for new tips and advice as it applies to Denali vs lower 48 glacier climbs.
Cheers!
