Welcome to the May 12th Denali expedition!
After the entire team completed the first leg of the trip by successfully making it to Anchorage, we packed up and shuttled into Talkeetna to share our first team dinner and a few beers before the real madness began.
This morning started with coffee in town, followed by our National Park briefing, before spending the rest of the day doing an in-depth gear check and sorting through personal gear, group gear, and countless snacks. Once things were packed, unpacked, and packed again, the team was finally ready for the final weigh-in.
Now that the gear is weighed, the clothes are laid out, and the team is prepped, we just wait for a weather window to fly in. The goal is first thing tomorrow morning, so keep your fingers crossed.
