Two of our favorite friends, Isaac and Ariel Tyler are back to give Denali another go, following a bout of illness that interfered with their last attempt.

The couple got high on Denali a few years ago, but a chest infection prevented  them  from making a summit bid.  We are so happy that they have decided to trust Mountain Trip again and they are back for another shot at the top this spring.

On May 13th, they headed up to Talkeetna, along with some newly made friends.  They were hoping to fly into the Kahiltna Glacier this afternoon, but rain and clouds prevented them from making the flight.

The forecast looks favorable, so we’re hopeful that the Tylers will fly to the glacier tomorrow and begin their climb up the highest peak in North America.
