Striding out of the 7800-foot camp toward the day’s reward: a break in the weather. After 11 hours on the move we skied up Heartbreak Hill to the airstrip where a plane promptly landed and six of our guys got on. The rest of us waited for varying periods but all got out that day, rolled to Anchorage that afternoon, and a few sampled the local “rewards” typical to a Denali trip later in the evening.
