The Talkeetna Hang

A quick update from Talkeetna. We arrived yesterday for the NPS briefing and were ready to fly but low clouds and snow on Denali stopped all the flights. So we spent the night at the Road House.

Had Half Standard; a Full would have caused me to exceed the weight limit :). Weather good in Talkeetna this morning. Hopeful for the Glacier. We are on 1st flight this AM.

Lots of commercial teams here so the Mountain will continue to be crowded as we enter the late season.

I will continue to send my location via SPOT and a voice dispatch one we get to the Glacier.

Climb On!

  1. The cat looks just like our late cat “Tigger”. What a cute kitty, a very good sign of things to come.

  2. Alan,I will be following your climb.It’s great to be here supporting your cause and challenge.Looking forward to making a donation,I will get right on it.Always!!

  3. Yeah….what’s a “half standard”? Is it a half tankard of ale? Only one side of a moose? A ribeye cut in two?

    Anyway, we’re all waiting with baited breath….according to you and everything I’ve read about Denali, iffy weather is a very challenging aspect of the climb and I’ll bet it can really add time to the expedition.

    Looks like Stubs is bored with all the climbing talk, hahaha!

  4. Love the cat front and center! And all the climbers are too busy enjoying their Half or Full Standard!

    Journey on! Have a safe climb.

  5. It is great that all of the climbers respect the fact that Stubbs the cat gets the entire couch! Are you sure you didn’t sneak Max into one of your bags.
