We have reached our camp IV and are on the Denali Pass. If the altitude is correct, we are at around 5750 m. It's now 22:30, the sun is setting and we're doing relatively well. It has taken us seven hours to get here from the last camp. We are very lucky, there is almost no wind. We are quite exposed, if the wind came up we would have big problems.
11:45 am, we have reached the summit of Denali. We needed a lot of strength. We are now at 6250 m according to the clock, which should be pretty accurate. There is absolutely no wind, the views are incredible, we are alone on the summit. The next people are about two or three hours below us, you can see them slowly crossing over. It was worth the wait: the view is magnificent and, oh yes, it's great that we've survived the six days in the snow hole, that we're here now.
16.05. Camp V Muldrow Glacier 3000 m
It's already the 17th of May, it's 2:00 in the morning. Gü says the 16th, so to speak - no, the 17th! We've arrived on the flat of the Muldrow Glacier after a 20-hour day. We descended via Karstens Ridge, and today we've climbed almost 3000 meters downhill from the summit to here, most of it on skis. Yes, and now we're here and half frozen again. Oh, let's talk more tomorrow...
