Camp 1

They got up early and hauled all of the food, fuel, clothes, tents, iPods, and everything else for a 20+ day expedition 6 miles up the Kahiltna glacier today. It's a hard day of work, but they are on the trail now, and it was a beautiful day in the Alaska Range. Everyone is doing great, minus some aching muscles as their bodies get used to the idea of hauling big packs and sleds up a mountain.
Here's a picture of one of our guides hauling loads up the Kahiltna glacier from 2008.

  2. Frampton and fellow climbers - We are sitting in "Hot-lanta" envious of your cool weather (hehe.) Now we see why you were lugging a tire down the beach with a pack on your back, filled with cinderblocks. We are at the Inmans, living on the edge, vicariously. Lamb is cooking on the grill, the risotto is on the stove, and the garden-fresh lettuce and radishes are just waiting for some Kraft dressing. Have a great climb, and we are thinking of you and following with great relish your adventure. Much love, Frank, Laura, Betty, Libby, and lil' Fram.
