I just saw that SkiTheBig3 (Jordan White and friends) successfully summited and skied Denali last night (June 3). Not only did they ski Denali, but Hunter and Foraker on the same expedition too, "making them one of few if not the only expedition to have summited Hunter, Foraker and Denali all in the same trip, an astounding tour de force."

Mighty impressive, boys! Brings back memories of the High One.

Wow. That Hunter climb was impressive. A 41 hour "day"? Wow.

Very Impressive.
Been a tough year on Denali, high winds on the upper mountain.....summit percentage to date is below 20%. I spent most of May up there and never got a summit shot.

Not as young as I once was and not as old as I want to be.

Congrats Jordan and team. Quite the endeavor. The WildSnow blog says they made some of the climb yesterday and shared the Denali summit with a few other 14ers.com members, Mike Bean, Matt (pioletski), and Marc (XC Snowboarder). Congrats on the summit guys.
