I just got the news: The team did make the summit the other day!
Apparently, after they assisted Stefan (sorry for mis-spelling your name in previous posts!) they geared back up and headed out of camp at about 2:30 pm. They reached the summit late at night, but in Alaska, in June: it's never dark. They then rested a day before descending.
I believe they are spending tonight at Camp 2 at 11,200'. They'll probably get a very early start so that they cross the lower glacier during the wee hours of the morning, when it is most frozen.
I have to say, climbing up to Denali Pass twice in one day and then going all the way to the summit is a huge day. Those folks are definitely to be heartily congratulated!
Good work!!!
