MY 5TH ATTEMPT AT DENALI 2021

Face your Fear!
Last years attempt I got so, so close to summiting. The fear that had manifested itself from when I fell into that crevice in 2018 cam back to haunt me. I got to that ridge line, crevice and froze with fear!  Needless to say, I couldn’t hold the team up and had to go back to High Camp @ 17,200ft. So next day I went back up to the ridge line/crevice and faced my fear and overcome it! Unfortunately,  I missed my opportunity to summit with the team.

My 4th Attempt at Denali 2018

This was the closes I’ve come to reaching the summit. I did exceed all other attempts making it to High Camp at 17,200 ft. I was only 3,110 ft. from the summit when I hit the wall and could not go any further. I’ll be back!!
