UWC Costa Rica has been a crazy experience, and it got even crazier over December break when I decided I wanted to attempt climbing Denali, the highest mountain in North America. I have had my eye on this peak for some time now, but it always seemed like a dream, like something I would never have the opportunity to actually climb. However, when one of my mountaineering friends from another expedition texted me about Denali, that all changed. Before I knew it, we had gathered a group of people and an instructor with the organization NOLS. Since then, I have been training for the trip here at UWC Costa Rica and will be back in Alaska and on the mountain by June 3rd.
