The 7 Summits Club group started from the overnight camp site "Upper Kahiltna Glacier" (9,600 feet, 2,900 m). Participants and guides were divided into four groups and went one after another. The climb was quite steep and difficult. The weather began to deteriorate, it became colder and the wind appeared. The final point of the climb was the camp at 11,000 feet (3,350 meters). This is the area of the so-called Motorcycle Hill. As they say, this is the place where the approaches end and the actual climb begins.
