Denali Ski Descent

Here is some video taken with a GoPro helmet camera of my 29 May 2011 ski descent of Denali. It only covers the descent from 20,320 to 14,200. The rest of the ski descent took place about a week later.
Enjoy!

I used Dynafit TLT5 boots and TLT speed bindings. The TLT5 boots are the lightest most 'climbing-friendly' AT boots on the market. Swap out the liners, though. The stock ones are not nearly warm enough for Denali.

Thanks for the video! I am going there in May 2012 with my brother to try to do the same. One question: is a camp at 17,200 needed? It would be great to ski down all the way to the basin and not worry about gear higher up....

Well, you can hear what it's like to try to breathe and 20,000 and man you hear the ice too.

Thumbs up to you for this effort.

what kind of binding boot setup would you need for this?
