Shawn Chriest gives Doug Yates a tour of Shawn's "backyard" in
Chugach State Park near Eagle River, Alaska. Shawn's house is just over the
cliff edge in the background and about 1,000 feet straight down. |

Camp at 7,800 feet with Mt. Francis and the Kahiltna Glacier in

will cache and return to camp at 7,800 feet. |

Bad weather at 11,000 feet. We were stuck here for two days.

Looking up towards the south summit from our camp at 17,000 feet.

The team at the end of the climb with Denali's south summit in
the background. From left - Fred Redmon, Sheryl & Shawn Chriest and Doug
Yates. Back at Base Camp we were happy but tired and looking forward to dinner
at the "West Rib" in Talkeetna. We had been on the mountain three weeks to the
day we originally flew in. |
