Today Team Powersauce hopes to make the summit. It is over 3000 vertical feet above them but only 2.5 miles away. The route ascends just shy of Denali Pass then takes the ridge southeast to the Football Field. From there it climbs Pig Hill to Kahiltna Horn and follows the summit ridge to the top. Tired climbers get creative with place names.
Denali's summit is 20,320 feet above sea level and the highest mountain in North America.
Wish them luck!
After a successful summit, I'd expect them to descend to 14 Camp if not a bit further.

This is Margi - Matt and Bernie's secretary from Evergreen High School - this is so exciting - I'm glad the weather is cooperating. Please send my very best wishes to them - I check the website several times a day for progress notes.
