Talkeetna was cloudy and sometimes rainy but our team used the day to get all set for a Denali expedition. We started with a team breakfast meeting and then moved out to the hangar on the Talkeetna airstrip for getting organized. Guides and climbers set to work organizing both group gear and personal equipment. Finishing touches were made to the 22 day food supply. We stood outside for a briefing from National Park Service rangers on safety and environmental procedures.
We were happy to watch our fellow climbers in Dominic Cifelli’s RMI team load up and take off for Kahiltna Base as the weather improved. Our day finished with a weigh-in and final division of the supplies into two piles for two airplanes. We met for dinner in town to relax and talk once more on strategy for the climb.
Best Regards
