Still haven't made it out to Talkeetna. They hope to be able to fly out tonight, but it may be tommorow before they are all able to get on a plane to Talkeetna. We'll let you know if we hear anything new.

Sorry about the lack of info. We have just regrouped in the office after being on expeditions. I flew off of the mountain on Thursday with Danna, and the rest of the group was able to proceed to the summit! Continuing our 100% success rate for Denali Expeditions this season. Congratulations to all of the climbers. They should be all flying back to Talkeetna today(Saturday)

The team carried loads to Camp 2 and is about to move camp. Weather has been good, although it has been windy at higher elevations. This report is second hand, as the first two camps are nestled deep amongst some pretty big mountains and communications are difficult. As they get higher we will have first hand accounts available.

On the mountian finally, everyone left yesterday morning for base camp. Today they should have started moving up the mountain. Good luck everyone. . . And to those who are wondering, a green fanny pack is completely acceptable man bag ;)
