Well, my climb is done and the past few days in Anchorage with the family were great. However I guess I have to come back to reality sometime soon. Heather, Rebecca and I fly home this afternoon. What an experience this trip has been. Thanks to everyone for their continued support and helping out with Heather and Rebecca while I was climbing. This will be my last post on my expedition blog. Check back soon for more pictures. I should have them posted this weekend.

Just posted a few pictures from my Denali Expedition. More to come as soon as we get back home.

Thanks for everyone's support on my adventure to the top. Here are a couple of pictures from last Saturday's summit. Happy Father's Day! See you all when I return next week.

(12:00 pm)  HE DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Scott called and told me the fantastic news that he and his team made it to the summit yesterday!    It took over 6 hours for the climb, and he's exhausted but deservably very very happy.  :)   I admit to getting teary eyed when he told me the good news!  I'm so proud of him!  The weather has been good and he said the plan is start heading down today and maybe be off the mountain as early as Tuesday!!   What will he do if he's down early?? Take a hot shower and go fishing, of course! :)    We are all very happy and excited to see him soon.  I told him he's only halfway through this, and going down counts as much as going up.  He sends his love to everyone!

(2:11 pm) Hello All!  Scott called this afternoon from the vantage point of 17,000 or High Camp!  He left the PDA down at 14' so I'm updating the blog.  :)  They did great geting up the fixed lines last night and got into camp tired but happy with beautiful views.  The bummer is there are lots of people right now at high camp, so there were no pre-made spots with snow walls, etc.  So after their tiring climb, they went to work to build the snow walls and posh to make camp.  Today is a true rest day, no practicing, or drills.  They will be relaxing, listening to music, reading books, or watching movies on their MP3 players.  If the weather holds, the summit attempt could be as early as Saturday, however Scott guessed it would be more like Sunday or Monday.  He's really in great spirits and happy to be there.  I reminded him this is the highest he's ever been (Rainier was the previous high), and he told me he's feeling great, and no AMS.  Keep your fingers crossed that the weather will continue to hold for the team! 

(2:00pm) Hello!  I just heard from Scotty.  He’s doing really well, they are at 14.2k' on a schedule rest day.  Tomorrow they will leap frog some gear and plan to go to 17k' Thursday if the weather holds.  Everyone is in good spirits and he said his team is well matched.  If you are reading the Alpine Ascents blog, his team name is "Local Cooling 62".  He says hello to all and hugs to Roo.
