June 2, 3:40 PM: First AMS Team of the Season Reaches the Summit!



We just got word that our May 14th team, led by Keith Sidle, with guide Ben Farrar and climber Hector, have just reached the summit of McKinley/Denali! A big congratulations to the team!

After taking a couple of days at High Camp to rest and wait for the winds to die down, the team was greeted with more favorable weather today- and they were able to make a well-rested ascent to the summit.

Hector had 2 stated goals for this expedition: "smiling a lot and making it above 15,000 feet".

We can't wait to see the photos of Hector's smile at 20,310 feet!
