Bill's Team Summits Denali!!!!

In a message received last night, we heard that Bill 's team summitted yesterday! Bill reported that the following climbers made it to the top of North America:

Gene Rehfield
Stefano Biffi
Brett Garrett
Megan Delehanty
Martin Johnson
Traci BuckGary Ponder
Julio Bird
Bill Allen (Guide)
Con Severis (Guide)

Congratulations to all of you! You worked hard and kept on pushing wo capitalize on the weather and it paid off. Bill said the summit day was not a perfect, clear day, but the weather held off enough to allow them to keep moving. This team was particularly strong and this allowed them to have a shot on a less than perfect day.

Today the team will descend from high camp to 14,200' camp, dig up the cache of supplies they left there and continue on down the mountain. They will probably be motivated by thoughts of warm pizza and cold beers as they beat it out to Basecamp. If all goes well, they should arrive at Basecamp tomorrow and weather permitting, will fly back to Talkeetna.

Thanks to all of you who helped with the "good weather dances"!!
