So far so good in Alaska this season! Here’s the latest:
Team Dale is making their way up the Kahiltna Glacier. The team is camped at 9500′ and is making their move to 11K Camp. This is one of the first big milestones in their journey! From 11K the team will rest and start making carries up to 14K over the next few days with a move to 14K Camp on the horizon.
Team Gilson is flying onto the glacier this morning. The team has had two productive days in Anchorage and Talkeetna making their final preparations and packing up. They’re all ready to launch onto the Kahiltna Glacier!
Team Sackett is arriving in Anchorage today! The team will spend their day doing gear checks and making final shopping trips if needed while they still have access to the city. Tomorrow AM they will travel to Talkeetna where they will meet with the NPS and weigh their baggage.
Team 4 (Team Baldwin) and Team 5 (Team Stewart) haven’t left Ashford yet but will be leaving in the next week or so! We’re in the final stages of preparations and guide briefings with those two teams back at home.
