Climbing Mount Denali in the Alaska Range is a very challenging task. Mount Denali is North America's tallest peak standing at 20,310 ft (6,190 m). Climbing Mount Denali takes a lot of training and mental fortitude. Mount Denali often has brutal conditions adding to the challenge. Our aim to climbing Mount Denali was to take the West Buttress route over the course of 2-3 weeks. Unfortunately, our attempt at climbing Mount Denali was cut short due to some sort of GI bug (thank goodness for antibiotics). We got pretty sick the night before we were set to move to camp V which left us too exhausted to continue climbing at higher elevation. Our symptoms resolved after 2.5 days, but it was enough to derail the remainder of our expedition on Mount Denali. This is obviously not the result we'd hoped for. We were devastated by this. All the months of training and dedication that went into it were upended by an uncontrollable factor like getting sick on the mountain. Denali is a beast, and you need to be at your best to climb. We understood the risk we'd be putting the rest of our team at if we tried to continue. We were still able to enjoy parts of the climb and we certainly learned a few things about ourselves. At the end of the day, we were still able to have another adventure together and that's what truly matters! As always, thanks for watching and please make sure to subscribe to our channel and continue to follow along on all of our adventures!    / @marriedmountaineers   #denali #denalinationalpark #mckinley #mountaineering #climbing #mountains #glacier #adventure #alaska #alaskaextreme #mountainlovers #climbinglovers #alaskarange #mtdenali #mountdenali #nationalparks Music: uppbeat.io/t/all-good-folks/everlasting License code: H9ABRAKSV7DUWM2D uppbeat.io/t/ra/serenity License code: GYRKASR6NM1V0PQV uppbeat.io/t/nick-petrov/polarity License code: AC6FOUVWPGTSCMO6 uppbeat.io/t/dan-phillipson/the-journey-ahead License code: 1WWW977BLSPAA9XV uppbeat.io/t/matrika/reaching-the-peaks License code: GD0F3HUCXIWTKO9W uppbeat.io/t/volo/last-nomad License code: CFKN9KIWP2H9OPUK uppbeat.io/t/dan-phillipson/by-the-night License code: ZRLNYYHJ5IOKQMC2 uppbeat.io/t/yeti-music/mavericks License code: VETGET9XM0VS6VIN 00:00 Flying onto Kahiltna Glacier 01:52 Trekking from base camp to camp 1 at 7,800 ft 05:22 Moving to camp 2 at 9,600 ft 06:40 Moving to camp 3 at 11,200 ft 08:51 Caching supplies at 13,500 past Windy Corner 11:43 Moving to camp 4 at 14,000 ft 13:07 Backcarry from camp 4 to get cache at 13,500 ft 14:42 Caching supplies at 16,200 ft ridge above fixed lines 18:24 Move to camp 5 at 17,200 ft 18:44 Devastation and heart break 19:50 Descent back to base camp 22:18 Flying off Kahiltna Glacier back to Talkeetna
