Congratulations team. I was so intent on getting my post climb comma sleep I did not get to say a proper good by to you all. It was a pleasure climbing with all of you. Truly an inspiring group of folks to climb with. There was never a doubt that this entire team was going to make it “up top”. Thank you all for your inspiration. Thank you Scott for the post climb refreshment drink. Thank you Mike, Josh, and my rope team leader JM for taking such great care of us.
PS: I did wake up from my 10 hour comma sleep and thought, yes, I want to do this again!

Helen and Roger, I hope you are having the time of your life. I’ve been thinking about you and praying for your safety. Stay warm and I am sure you are enjoying the beautiful view. Hugs to you both!!!

I agree with all. Bruce and Josh are Mountaineers and heros in my book. Glad to know you are safe and now have memories of Denali that will keep with you.

I’ve been watching you—but also NOAH’s weather reports—and I’m really, glad you made the decision that you did, even with all of that forward momentum that I KNOW you had. I’m sorry you-all didn’t summit but “he who climbs and then goes down, survives to claim Denali’s crown!”.

Mike and Josh,
Thank both for leading Bruce on such a great trip!

I’m so sorry, you guys—but I know you made the correct decision based on what you were facing—I was watching the local weather for Denali via the NOAA feeds and I’m very glad to hear that you’re down & safe! That’s all that matters in the end!

I see from the other teams that the weather is really bad. I hope you all are dug-in and holding out safe and warm.

Mike,Bridgette,Stoney,Peter,Lindsay, and all of the other RMI guides who risk their lives for us to fulfill our dreams to make it to the summit:
Lights will always guide you back home.ALWAYS.
You will always have a soccer mom thinking about you. Be safe my friends, be safe.
