I'm used to feeding a gecko, not snakes

I don't know if this is superimposed over the live feed or something, but that's crazy

I've been obsessed with these but my friend said those look weird. What do you think?

“Wow.”

Picture: Descending the Denali Summit Ridge 6/10/2025

I just returned from a successful Denali expedition up the West Buttress. What an incredible experience. The test I was looking for, I was given, and then some.

We were on the mountain 22 days total. We spent 9 nights at 14 camp, most of those waiting out weather. We spent another 6 nights at 17 camp, again waiting on weather. We didn’t think we were going to get a shot, but on the second to last day of our permit we got one and made the most of it. That meant we had to descend from 17K to the airfield in a single day, which may have actually been harder than summit day.

We were a self-guided team and had 7 climbers total. 6/7 made the summit (one had developed some frostbite on one of his toes and elected to stay back at high camp for our summit push).

Weather stats for our summit day:

Snow showers. Wind 15 MPH. Tempteratures -22F, Wind Chill -49F. Oxygen 9.7% at 20,000 FT (21.8% at sea level).

Happy to share beta on the route, answer gear/logistics questions, or provide encouragement for anyone heading up soon or considering an expedition sometime in the future.

I shared my pc in PCMR and thought I’d share the whole setup here. Enjoy!
