Denali: Walter & Team Partake in a Trial Run

May 17, 2018

Posted by: Mike Walter, Robby Young, Alan Davis

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Alaska

Elevation: 348'

The weather in Alaska is still unsettled, and our team remains on standby for clearing skies and a chance to fly into the Alaska Range. The weather improved for a bit this morning and we packed up the planes, two de Havilland Otters, donned our climbing clothes and boots, and loaded up the planes. But before we even got going, we received word that the weather shut down and snow had returned to Base Camp. So now we are back to the Talkeetna hang as we wait for conditions to improve. We are all eager to start this expedition, but we realize that patience is imperative, as the weather is out of our control. This patience with the weather will be important to maintain throughout this entire trip; I'll bet we see more of it over the next few weeks. I'll keep you posted if we get to fly this afternoon and, if not, then we'll play the game again tomorrow. RMI Guide Mike Walter

Mike Walter & Team Kick Off the RMI Denali Season!

May 16, 2018

Posted by: Mike Walter, Robby Young, Alan Davis

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Alaska

Elevation: 348'

We are kicking off RMI’s 2018 Denali climbing season. Our team met in Anchorage on Monday afternoon and traveled north to the small town of Talkeetna. Yesterday was a busy day of packing gear and preparing for our expedition, including a trip to the National Park Service to register our group and have a pre-trip orientation. With our bags packed and weighed for loading onto the glacier planes, we’re all set for our adventure. Currently there is some stormy weather that is not allowing airplanes to access the Alaska Range, so we’re in a holding pattern until we get a clearing. We will keep you up to speed with the team’s status. RMI Guide Mike Walter

Logan - I was thinking of you as I watched the colorful sunrise from sea level this morning.  Looks like it was beautiful at 12,500’!  Hawken says he’s proud of you for getting as high as Little Tahoma. Love you!  ~ Susie
