Hello from Heidi in warm, sunny, Anchorage!

Hello to everyone out there who has followed the progress of our climb on Denali over the last few weeks. First off I would like to thank all of you for your warm thoughts and prayers sent our way. The entire climbing team appreciates all of the love and support that we received during our climb. We are all very happy to have gotten that first shower and that first great sleep in a real bed.

The news from our new friends still up on the mountain, is the same story that we had during our stay up there, wind, wind, and more wind. As of Thursday evening teams still have not been able to travel safely to high camp, and I really hope that the winds at Camp 3 are not as bad as we experienced early this week. Keep your fingers crossed that the mountain will change her tune soon.

Our team; David, Mike, Ryan, Zach and myself was a finely tuned machine, we worked well together, had some wonderful laughs, and I believe really enjoyed each others company. It was a fine adventure for sure. The summit itself was not in our cards, but the dance with the mountain was still fun. I hope to have the opportunity to climb with all of you guys again someday.

Again, thanks for following our climb and for all of the support given to us climbers, without which our climb would have been impossible.

All the best,
Heidi Kloos
