Denali West Buttress, 6/16 Curtis. AMS Guide Curtis Green reported that the team traveled to 7800 camp and waited last night until 2 am for the correct traveling conditions (cool and firm packed snow) on the lower glacier. They have arrived to the upper airstrip today and just now have all returned to AMS headquarters excited to be back and heading for the showers. Everyone is excited they reached the top and had good team dynamics.
