IMG Denali Team 1 led by Forrest Baldwin is off to Talkeetna today! After a productive day of food shopping and gear checks yesterday the team is fully outfitted with the gear they need for the expedition. Today, the team will check in with the National Park Service and put the final touches on their climbing gear. Fingers crossed for a weather window tomorrow for the team to fly onto the Kahiltna Glacier!
