Great video, brought back many memories. I and five others climbed the West Buttress route in summer of 1970 using snowshoes and no sleds. Our high camp was at 17,300’. We all reached the summit. I was 20 then.
Stephen I bet it was a totally different experience in 1970. Super cool, thanks for sharing!
This deserves a lot more views - nice to see a non-pro/sponsored ski/board climb. Congrats on the epic climb and great video of it. Was crazy seeing you stripping off layers at 7:15 at the top of Motorcycle hill - at that point in June 2017 I was wearing 5 layers and my parka and mitts. Sadly our weather luck ran out the day after we arrived at 14 camp and never cleared up so we topped out at 17 but the memories will last a lifetime.
Lindsay, thanks for the comment and sharing part of your experience! That’s a bummer you weren’t able to summit. I agree with you though that the memories will last a lifetime. We were all stoked to have the opportunity and good weather to stand on the summit, but I definitely remember everything else in between more. It’s such a privilege to spend any time in the Alaska range, glad you were able to as well. Cheers!

Great video! Planning to ski tour / climb it next year!
Awesome video
Hey man, wondering if you guys were the group who summited a few minutes before my 3 man team (plus 2 guides). We went and ate pizza in Talkeetna with the group that summited right in front of us and skied down?
Haha Frank yes that was us. You guys summited shortly after. The ultra-runner guys?
What boots were the snowboarders wearing? Thanks nice video.
Travis, 2 of us were in hardboot set ups with Dynafit boots (TLT and PSG). The other had a softboot set up, can’t remember what it was. I’ve got Phantoms now for my hardboot system and they work great!
Hoping you see this silly question:) First off, great vid and great adventure! I think I noticed that someone was using ski or snowboard boots to skin up, but also had mountaineers boots on their pack…was this because a summit ski/snowboard wasn’t possible?
Thanks for the comments! So the thought was based on some beta that the upper mountain (above 14k) wasn’t worth skiing (too icy). We brought both boots in case. So we did some skiing above 14k camp, but ultimately decided to leave them and switch over to the double boots for the summit. There were some people that skied from the summit that day, but it was tough conditions. Hope that helps.
What company did you do this with? How could someone else do this kind of ski trip?
Mountain Trip, based out of Telluride. Bill Allen helped coordinate all of this.
Did the splitboarders ski down in 2 plank mode with the sleds at the end?
Connor, yes. Some splitskied from Camp 2 to Heartbreak Hill and I splitskied from Camp 1 to Heartbreak Hill. Definitely necessary with how mellow the terrain is at the end.
Have you been to the highest points in any other states?
Yes, but just Colorado and Washington!
@@zachbraddock4745 I heard some people say that Aconcagua & Denali are in the same continent apparently. Even the Spanish wiki page says they are for whatever reason.
Was there a guy named Ross on your trip?
Yes! He’s in a few clips. He turned around at Camp2.
@@zachbraddock4745 I climbed and skied Elbrus with him in 2019
Awesome! Ross was great!
10:47 how is your water not frozen?
insulated water bottles and hot water!
@@zachbraddock4745 How would you rate the difficulty of skiing down Denali (1-10) for someone who is new to skiing
