Following are images of recent expeditions undertaken by members of Team No Limits:

In May 2005, Doug Tumminello and Dave Mikolaities attempted the Sultana Ridge of Mt. Foraker, Alaska. Foraker, 17,400 feet, is Denali National Park’s second highest mountain and sixth highest in North America. Foraker is a formidable mountaineering challenge because of its high altitude, exposure, thin ridge traverses, cornicing, crevasses and sustained climbing. Unfortunately the team was hampered by perilous snow conditions and did not reach the summit of Foraker.

Also in May 2005, Duane Morrison lead a team of climbers up the West Buttress of Denali ( Mt. McKinley), Alaska. Denali, 20,320 feet, is the highest mountain in North America and one of the most dramatic. Denali rises out of a sea of glaciers and peaks which comprise the Alaska Range. The West Buttress route is known for having the highest elevation gain from base camp to summit of any mountain in the world.
