Guides Peter Anderson and Beth Cleary and their 6/13 Denali West Buttress group flew early this afternoon after a few days waiting for the weather to clear at Kahiltna Base Camp. They didn't get too bummed waiting at AMS HQ, though, spending the hours going over skills, bonding, and organizing a group yoga session. As they flew in a few groups have been coming out of the mountains. Nick D'Alessio, Brian Skean and Noah Ronczowski's 6/5 Kahiltna Dome/Denali Prep group flew down this afternoon after a short

Here is a photo taken from 11K (where Josh Hoeschen and his team are) and Kahiltna Dome in the background. Nick called in from Kahiltna Pass a bit ago. They are camped at approx. 10,000 feet. Their crew is doing really well. They travelled up to camp in a whiteout today. At times they could not see the wands in front of them. The weather mellowed out a bit since they arrived in camp. Right now it was a little hazy and light winds but overall pretty good. They are hoping for good weather tomorrow for their

We have two other teams having a great time in the field... 5/30 West Buttress Team - Russell Hunter Alex Stroud: This team has been camped at 11,000 feet, happily acclimatizing and staying out of the wind and weather. Today they will be carrying gear up and around Windy Corner, in preparation for their move to the 14,200 foot camp - also called Basin Camp. It can take two or three days to make this move, which needs to be done when the weather conditions are suitable. There are usually many teams camped

5:00 pm Update: Melis and team just called in from the summit of Kahiltna Dome where the weather and view are spectacular. They will head down shortly and make their way safely back to the Kahiltna Glacier for their Friday pick up. The September Mountaineering Courses are great for no crowds, less overflights and the possibility of Northern Lights; which this group has been able to to see some of the evenings.

Kahiltna Dome as seen from 11,000 feet on the West Buttress route. Melis and gang from the 12 Day Mountaineering course are continuing to have a blast. The weather has been gorgeous; it is hot and sunny on the glacier. Some folks are sleeping outside under the stars! They are presently camped at the base of Ski Hill (7,900) on the West Butress route. They are thinking about climbing Kahiltna Dome (12,525 ft) if the conditions are right. WOW! Blogger Laura

Greg Runyan called in a little bit ago with Matt Lee the Kahiltna Dome/Denali Prep Course . They said they have 20" of new snow, had winds up high and so climbed Mt. Capps instead of Kahiltna Dome. He said everyone is good, "they are stoked" and will head back down to Base Camp to get in line for a flight out in the morning. ANNOUNCING the Engagement of Margaret Denkewalter and Kelly Maixnor! They were engaged on the top of Mt. Capps! Congratulations!! ~Blogger Julia

We are finally getting some much-needed rain in Talkeetna. The Kahiltna Dome (Greg, Matt team) and the 6-day Mountaineering Course (Joe, Beth team) groups are making use of our dry shelters for practice with knots, ropes, fixed line ascension and the like. It's about 43 degrees, so we're keeping the warm drinks going. The wild roses are in full bloom as are the columbine and other flowers. They seem to be enjoying this moisture. We've heard from Kirby Senden today, I think Rob said they were at 11,000 ...

Kirby Senden and Russell Hunter called this morning with their update. They were at 9,100 feet planning to move to 11,000 feet. "Everybody is great, super strong". The Kahiltna Dome/Denali Prep Mountaineering Course begins today! The instructor-guides have been packing, much like they would for a Denali expedition, and will get the team involved today. They have their gear spread out and will go through it soon. They will also get to pack their lunches like we do for a Denali expedition. Once they have ...
