Mt. McKinley: Walter Hailes & Team Arrive in Talkeetna
Posted by:
Categories: Expedition Dispatches Denali
We have all arrived safely in Talkeetna and have settled in to our rooms in the Talkeetna motel. The team spent the evening telling stories and getting to know each other a little better. Since most of the team are already friends and have climbed together on other mountains it was mostly the guides that needed to get caught up with the back stories and inside jokes.
We will spend Wednesday checking in with the National Park Service Rangers, doing final gear checks, packing and enjoying the sunshine here in town. The weather forecast is promising for flying to the glacier tomorrow first thing on Thursday. We will check in again tomorrow as our adventure on Mt. McKinley begins.
.
Cheers from the whole team;
Andy, Ian, James, Tim, Steve, Mike, Pete and Walt
