2023 Denali Season Highlights &
2024 Denali Schedule

Climber on the Washburn Ridge below high camp.

We have now wrapped up our Denali climbs for the year and are incredibly proud of our 2023 season, with 8 of our 10 teams reaching the summit in a season marked by stormy weather. The National Park Service has reported that Denali summit rates this season were among the lowest they’ve been in recent years, but our teams managed to find great success, due in no small part to the support from our fantastic Alaska operations crew and utilizing private weather forecasting. With such challenging weather and short summit windows, these details really made a difference.

Most importantly, the efforts of our extremely talented guide staff cannot be overstated. Many of our lead guides have guided 10+ expeditions on this peak in addition to impressive personal climbing feats in the Alaska range, including (but not limited to!) Sam Hennessey’s legendary speed ascent of the Slovak Direct (one of Denali’s hardest routes) and Vern Tejas ticking off his 63rd Denali summit, furthering his remarkable record on this peak.

On a lighter note, team names were especially fun this year! Some of our favorites were Pirates of the Carabiners, Sled Zeppelin, and Mitosis are Cold. Want to get the full recap of the season?  You can read the full season review here. 

Congratulations to our climbers, guides and staff for helping make 2023 a standout season!
