Summit of Denali!!

Jacob just called, and the team has summitted!! The first rope team reached the top just before 8pm, and the other teams followed 30-40 minutes later. I'll get some more details later tonight or tomorrow, but it sounds like everyone reached the top, and it is a beautiful evening. They'll descend to high camp in the next few hours.

Here's a video Todd took from the summit in 2007.
