The climb began June 8th.
Denali is North America's highest peak.
Douthitt has now climbed six of the so-called seven summits, the highest mountains on earth's seven continents.
He has not climbed Mount Everest.
He's expected home early next week.

Thats nothing, there are people in Knott County that take Oxycontin and climb Mt. Everest everyday. 99% of them haven't come down yet.
