The Mountain Trip June 2nd Denali team got off to a bit of a slow start, with weather delays keeping them in Talkeetna waiting to fly for a couple of days, but they are on the move now. A high pressure system has moved back over the Alaska Range, and they have taken advantage of the beautiful weather to move on up to Camp 1 and prepare for the move to Camp 2 tomorrow. John called in to update us on their progress this evening and we expect to get regular updates from here on out.
Here’s the team:
Alex Straus
Curtis Fullmer
Saeed Kiam
Gilberto Thoen
John Oldring
Scott Buel
and guides: Ian Nicholson, Travis Williams, and Brian Muller
