Pig Hill

The route from High Camp to the summit climbs Denali Pass, winds through smaller hills, drops into the Football Field, then tackles Pig Hill and the Summit Ridge: about three thousand vertical feet. Here's video from the descent, plus an unfortunate close-up of my runny nose.

So, the path from High Camp (camp 5) to the summit includes climbing Denali Pass, then a bunch of smaller and winding "hills", followed by dropping down into the Football Field, climbing Pig Hill and then finally the Summit Ridge. Altogether it's about three thousand vertical feet. I took this video on my way down - having descended the summit ridge. I was sitting on top of Pig Hill. Also, I forgot to zoom back out after panning around, so, you get to look very closely at my runny nose. Sorry. It's sort of difficult to do a re-take at this point.
