Climbing Mount Denali in Alaska is an arduous journey. Ultimately it is the mountain that permits you to pass when conditions are favorable.
At 20,310 feet (6,190 m), Mount Denali has some of the coldest temperatures of any mountain in the world.
Temperatures of – 100 F or -73 Celcius have been recorded. This past Spring, Wojciech and his three friends from Poland arrived at Base Camp Anchorage to prepare for their climb of Mt. Denali.
They left our hostel on May 17th and by May 31st they had reached the summit. They had ideal weather windows with many clear skies and calm days.
Often mountaineers become stranded at base camps along the mountain for days or weeks waiting for weather to improve. We congratulate Wojciech and his friends with their successful summit of North America’s tallest mountain.
Wojciech Climbing Denali
Upon returning from Mt.Denali, Wojciech’s journey wasn’t finished. He purchased a motorcycle and cruised throughout the United States and south into Mexico, Central and South America down to Patagonia, Argentina.
We send Wojciech an abundance of joy and love from the Base Camp Anchorage family!
