The May 12th Denali Team is loaded and ready to climb. We spent yesterday in town packing, repacking, sorting food, and enjoying the Talkeetna restaurant scene. Our bags are weighed, sorted, and now we just need weather to fly. Rain moved in overnight, but the news this morning is that weather in the range is good, so once things clear out here, we should be ready to launch for base camp. Hopefully that's sooner than later. We'll give another shout this evening and let everyone know how it went.

Best of luck Mark and Rachel and fellow expeditioners.
I know how much work you have all put into this and I wish you all the best. May the weather be kind and the mountains good to you. I will be thinking of you all from Victoria Australia.
Enjoy the experience whatever it brings.
