Hey, this is Dave Hahn calling in from 17,000ft on Denali. We summitted today. It was a hard day- 14 hours out there, mostly due to new snow. It was a difficult day to guess what the weather was going to do. We spent a lot of it socked in cloud and light snow, but the good thing was we didn't have much for wind. So it was a hard day, but we're all safe back at high camp. We'll let you know a little bit more about it in these next couple of days. Bye for now.

Congrats to all of you for a successful summit!!! I was afraid that the weather was going to keep you from your goal but with the four guides you had, I knew they’d take you climbers successfully through it! You are all awesome! Safe descent now, and safe travels back home!
