We didn't receive a call from the team last night, which I'm taking as a good sign. Summit day can be very long and grueling, so the fact that they did not call probably means that they went for the top and came back to camp very tired, ate some food and fell fast asleep.
If this is the case, we should know later today, as we have four other expeditions on the mountain and one of them should be in touch with our guys as they begin their descent from high camp today. Please keep in mind that no news is good news up on Denali. There are NPS rangers at high camp and if anything were to go awry, the rangers would call our office.
Today looks like a pretty good day, so if they did not make the summit yesterday, they might be busy heading uphill right now. If they did summit, they are undoubtedly busy packing up and sorting loads for the climb down the ridge to the fixed lines. They are probably all eager for a hot pizza and a fresh salad!
We'll post an update as soon as we know something concrete.
