Dave safely down to 14,200' camp

Just received a call from Mike Burmeister at 17k camp that Dave has made it safely to 14,200' and is in good hands with a doctor and the NPS. Thanks to Mountain Trip guides, Jacob Schmitz and Nick Sheperd, and NPS for helping Dave make a safe descent to camp.

Tomorrow, fellow Mountain Trip guides will continue to band together to keep things rolling on the mountain. If the weather holds up the whole team, along with Mountain Trip guide, Kevin Koprek, and his client will make a summit attempt of Denali. Jacob Schmitz will also begin his ascent from 14,000' to 17,000' to partner with Mike in safely guiding the team during the rest of the trip.

As I am writing this I received another update on Dave's status. He is safely at 14k and in stable condition. As the weather clears the NPS hopes to fly him off the mountain. He was able to walk down the ridge and was then lowered down the fixed lines. Then he was put in a toboggan and was taken the rest of the way to 14,200' camp

We will continue to post updates on Dave's status and hopefully we will hear about a summit attempt tomorrow or sometime this week once the weather clears. Stay tuned!
