Forest called in at 1:05am this morning (June 13) with the following dispatch:
“Hi everyone, this is Forest calling in from High Camp on Denali. Dustin, Kristen and I are just hanging out in the tent after finishing a successful summit bid. Everyone on the team made it to the top and down, is healthy and in very good spirits. After we got back to camp we got some thing to drink and eat and people promptly went to bed. We are planning to sleep in tomorrow and relax a bit before starting the journey downward.
It was a wonderful sunny day today with pretty mild temperatures and excellent snow conditions on the upper mountain. I think everyone had a really good day of it. Well, that’s all I’ve got. We’ll give you a ring tomorrow!”
