Father's Day summit: Horvaths reach peak of Denali, fundraising for Otsego Outdoors continues
STAFF REPORT • Special to www.AllOTSEGO.com
Otsego County residents Tim and Henry Horvath reached the summit of Denali over the weekend, about two weeks into their Alaskan journey, according to Ellen Pope of Otsego 2000.
"So excited to report that Henry and Tim reached the summit of Denali yesterday, on Father’s Day," Pope said. "So far, they’ve raised ($2,275) for improving trails in Otsego County, with a goal of $5,000."
Henry Horvath, 16, who will be a junior at Middlesex School in Concord, Massachusetts in September, came up with the idea of the Denali climb, after spending his childhood watching his father take on outdoor challenges. Tim, a Cherry Valley native and the owner of Redpoint Design/Build, has climbed all over the world, including some of the highest peaks. He had climbed Denali twice before, reaching the summit successfully in 1999.
