Jesse participates in a Team Expedition to

the summit of Mount McKinley

 


June / July 1999.

 


  The climb seem like forever.

  We continue, hoping the

  weather will hold. Now the

  main difficulty is exertion in

  the higher altitudes.

  Finally, at 8:30 pm on 2nd of

  July 1999, we reach the

  summit. This is 20,320 feet.

  The highest peak in North

  America.

  Returning to the upper camp,

  Jesse has a little dance of

  celebration. Although there

  are some weather delay, we

  make it back down to the

  base camp and fly out to

  Talkeetna and then back

  home. An adventure with a

  successful outcome because

  of preparation, teamwork and

  a lot of luck with the weather.
