They did it! All 5 members of our team reached the summit of 16,394 ft Mt. Blackburn at approximately 1 pm. They left their camp at 12,400 ft at 3:30 am, so it was a long trip up the gradual summit ridge, but they sound happy and excited. Take a listen!
And here’s a summit shot of guides Scott, Dave and Bennet from our 2014 expedition. Hopefully we’ll be posting pictures from this year’s trip in just a couple of days!
