AMS Climber on Peak 11,300' Ruth Glacier Alaska Range , AMS custom climb. Julia is away for a few weeks so our dear old friend and the past AMS Admissions manager, Frannie and I are steering the ship at the AMS HQ. The sun keeps shinning here in Talkeetna and the temperature is creeping up, it was 35 F today. It feels hot to us, but not in a global climate change sort of way, just a spring is coming kind of way... It's good :-) The skiing is excellent and the groomers are working hard on the nordic ski ...

After a sunny weekend, we got a great dump of snow this morning! We're getting a beautiful sunset, but the Alaska Range is still obscured by clouds. It seems warm for us at this time of year, with 20 degrees as the constant temperature. The Italian soloist made it up to Base Camp on Saturday, rumor has it he's thinking twice about his plan to dig snow caves for the whole expedition and is wishing he brought a tent. Never underestimate this mountain! (or overestimate yourself) In other climbing news, the

Groomers have been keeping the local cross-country ski trails in great shape. A couple of people who are signed up for a Mountaineering Course made a road trip from Fairbanks to visit and check out the AMS facilities. Thanks for stopping by Dusty Nick! It seems quiet in town, but the climbing community has some activity with the first climbers of the year. Japanese ...
