“Axe Grabbers” Expedition Update - May 22, 2024

On May 7, 2024 we flew Ben Luedtke and Ross Hill expedition name, “Axe Grabbers” to Kahiltna Basecamp with goals to spend 30 days in the Alaska Range attempting climbs on Hunter (Begguya), Foraker (Sultana) and Denali.

May 22:

“Ross and I tried to gain the French Ridge and ran into more unsafe snow conditions. At this point, given weather and time on the mountain, we are gonna move up to 11k camp and try to work our route plan backwards from there and hopefully climb Foraker (Sultana) via the Sultana Ridge, then give Denali a run.”
