Kevin called from the top of Denali at around 7:30 pm Alaska time. They were enjoying a beautiful day, and the rest of the team was snapping pictures and breathing hard. Steve had to come down with Peter from about 19,000 ft, I didn't get details, he's fine, but maybe this just wasn't his day. It's the hardest day of a very challeging climb, so if everything isn't going your way it can be a really tough one.
They'll be descending back to high camp any minute now, and will spend the night there before starting the long descent to base camp. The descent only takes a couple of days, so they'll all be back soon now.
Congratulations!!
Here's a link to a video Todd made from the summit of Denali in 2007, it's an amazing place...
