Hello all who may be reading!
A beautiful morning made for a pleasant exercise in breaking down our large camp and preparing our sleds for hauling up glacier. By 11:00 a.m. the team made their way down Heartbreak Hill to the main Kahiltna Glacier and upstream we paddled in snowshoes. Veering from the main trail we split off further west into a small basin tucked between a long black ridge and a peak known as Farine. We made camp on a high snow roll overlooking the Kahiltna to the south and it is a truly awesome sight. Tomorrow we will wake early for an attempt on the west ridge. Good luck and good night!

Hi Greg
Glad to know the weather cooperated and you got some action and moved to another spot on the mountain. Friday should bring new paths and vistas for you and your fellow expeditioners to explore and enjoy.
Missing you loads but we know that you are doing what you love.
Lots of love Mom and Dad
