I'm sure it's a wonderful experience, but not for me.

Thanks, we spent 11 days on the ascent and 2 days down. Guide, assistant guide and six paying clients (4 men and 2 women). Flew from Talkeetna to base camp and began the climb the day we arrived. We would carry supplies from low camp to the next higher camp, burry them in the snow, then go back down to sleep. Then go up the next day, set up camp, carry supplies to next higher camp, then go back down to sleep. No one got altitude sickness, and everyone summited. The weather was mostly good until the day we were going to attempt the summit. Had to stay in the highest camp for 24 hours, then the next day was clear, so we climbed to the summit. Needless to say, it was incredible.

From google:
Six people died climbing Denali in 1995. Three climbers died in a snow-hidden crevasse in May, and the other three died while descending in a severe storm.

En route to a fireworks display near Mt. Kaimon tonight.


At 924 m (3,031 ft), touching the sea for ~180° of her circumference, and an almost perfect cone shape, I find her to be truly awe inspiring.

Way back when I lived in Seattle (77-93) we used to say "the mountain is out today". It was like a giant backdrop that was clearer some days than others.
