However, they&#8217;re filling their time with gear prep, team bonding, and great pizza, so the time is far from wasted. Our partners at Talkeetna Air Taxi do a great job of prioritizing climber transportation to the mountain, and we know they&#8217;ll be on the Kahiltna as soon as possible!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_30036\" style=\"width: 407px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Image-37-scaled.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[30034]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30036\" class=\" wp-image-30036\" src=\"http:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Image-37-620x827.jpg\" alt=\"A tower of duffel bags ready to head to Talkeetna\" width=\"397\" height=\"529\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Image-37-620x827.jpg 620w, https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Image-37-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Image-37-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Image-37-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Image-37-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Image-37-940x1253.jpg 940w, https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Image-37-146x195.jpg 146w, https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Image-37-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 397px) 100vw, 397px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-30036\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Alpine expedition Jenga (Kevin Alexander)<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_30035\" style=\"width: 407px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Image-36-scaled.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[30034]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30035\" class=\" wp-image-30035\" src=\"http:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Image-36-620x827.jpg\" alt=\"Team 2 sits at a long table sharing pizza in Talkeetna\" width=\"397\" height=\"530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Image-36-620x827.jpg 620w, https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Image-36-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Image-36-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Image-36-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Image-36-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Image-36-940x1253.jpg 940w, https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Image-36-146x195.jpg 146w, https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Image-36-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 397px) 100vw, 397px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-30035\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A well-fed team is a happy team!
