Meeting the team in Anchorage
The team met for the first time today in Anchorage at the Earth B&B, our climbers home away from home in Alaska. They came from all over the world, and miraculously all of their bags and equipment made it as well. Durny (Lead Guide Rob Durnell) talked about what to expect on the trip, and then they moved on to the gear check. We go thru every last bit of clothing and equipment to be sure that everyone is adequately prepared for the expedition. Some people reluctantly bought a few last bits of gear, but I'm sure they'll be glad to have it on the mountain.
Tomorrow morning they'll drive to Talkeetna, check in with the Denali Park Rangers, and fly into base camp.
