    Life on Denali: Women's speed record set

    It wasn't this nice when Point6 Ambassador Savannah Cummins and Katie Bono and company arrived. Actually there were several days of whiteout, when the temperatures didn't get above -5 degrees. Everyone hid in their tents trying to stay warm. According to Savannah.

    Katie Bono summitted the 20,310-foot Denali peak (North America’s highest) in -40 degree temperatures at 8:46 p.m. Her round-trip time was 21 hours, 6 minutes, set the women’s speed record on the mountain and was the third-fastest time ever recorded on Denali. Point6 Ambassador Savannah Cummins, a photographer/adventurer from Salt Lake City, Utah, was there to document the feat.
