Mt. Denison - Day 5
Day 5. Originally, we intended to follow the successful second ascent of Mt. Denison with a first ascent of Mt. Stellar. However, having aggressively taken advantage of the unimaginably good weather, our stamina finally gave out. We therefore took the 5th day of our excursion as a rest day; according to our basecamp coordinator, Emmett Buell (Denison Faculty member), we were expecting at least two more days of decent weather. However, Aleutian reality was quick to set in and halfway through this day of playing cards, reading and eating double dinners, clouds rolled in and soon had our camp encased in 25ft. visibility and a light constant rain.
Mt. Stellar, still a virgin mountain. The photo shows the aesthetic and more technical east ridge.
