Bill Allen (co-owner of Mountain Trip) called this morning to inform me that he was parked in our van at the entrance to Denali Park with a bedraggled crew of stinky climbers!
The team reached Wonder Lake (an idyllic place with incredible vistas of Denali) at midnight yesterday and raised eyebrows as they boarded the 6 a.m. tourist bus that shuttled them to the park entrance. I ave not had the opportunity to get on that bus after 20-some days on the mountain, but I can only imagine that they answered a lot of questions and made more than one passenger a wee bit uncomfortable if for no other reason than the considerable odor they must be packing by now.
Bill met them with fresh changes of clothes and they should be showered by now. Some steak, pizza and perhaps a couple of well-deserved beers ought to make them feel almost human.
Hats off to all they guys for a hard-fought job very, very well done. I believe they are the only team to traverse Denali this season.
That's all for the dispatches. I may post some photos, if the guys give me some in a timely fashion.
Todd-out.
