The West Rib of Denali rises over 8,000 feet from the Northeast Fork of the Kahiltna Glacier as a steep, sweeping ridge. It is a beautiful line and a very challenging climb. Since its first ascent in June of 1959, climbers attempting this route have been faced with hard work and exposed climbing with big drop offs to either side. Few attempt this endeavor, but for those who do, the rewards are tremendous.
Mountain Trip is proud to welcome three climbers from around the world to join two of our guides on an attempt of the West Rib.
Climbers: James Neville from the UK
Tom Briggs from the UK
Patrick Hollingworth from Australia
Guides:
Christian Kerrick from Salmon Beach, Washington
Constantine Sevaris from Telluride, Colorado
We will post updates as they are available, however due to weather and the big mountains surrounding the team for much of the climb, communications with the team may not occur on a daily basis. Please keep in mind the axiom of "no news is good news."
We can not guarantee that any comments posted to this blog will reach the climbers on the mountain. If you do wish to pass along any news, please call or email the Mountain Trip Office at info@mountaintrip.com or +1-970-369-1153.
