Dustin English - VOORMI CXO and Alaska Mountaineering School (AMS) Guide, checks in from the 100 year anniversary of Denali's first ascent. Here is what he had to say about the trip: "This year on Denali was the 100 year anniversary for the first ascent of the mountain. I was fortunate enough to be one of the guides to go with a team of 6 climbers who were direct decedents of the original team.
We retraced the original route starting at Wonder Lake hiking across the tundra to McGonagall Pass, then up the Muldrow Glacier to Karsten's Ridge. We then climbed Karsten's Ridge to gain the Harper Glacier. From the Harper we went up to Denali Pass and joined the 'normal' (West Buttress route) to the summit. Once summiting we retraced our route back down all the way to Wonder Lake. The trip took a total of 27 days."
