In Talkeetna

The guys are in Talkeetna, eating, showering, and making plans to get home.

Heading down

The guys are heading out to basecamp, they left high camp, and have already passed thru Camp 3. John was planning on camping at 7,800ft (Camp 1) tonight, and making the final push to base camp in the morning.

Back to High Camp

The guys are back in high camp, eating dinner and enjoying a beautiful evening after a big day. Nice work.

On The Summit!

John called from the summit at around 3:00pm AK time. Vance and Nick were cheering in the background. They made great time reaching the top in just about 6 hours. It was a bit windy on top, but John said it was "bearable" so they aren't planning on spending much time up there.

Congratulations guys!

Here is a video Todd shot on the summit in 2007. It is a pretty amazing place...

Going for the summit!

John called this morning and said it was the nicest day they've seen on the mountain for almost 2 weeks. Perfect timing for the team and they'll be heading for the summit within the hour.

It's a long day, but they are feeling good, slept well last night, and it sounds like the weather has finally given them a break!

High Camp!

They got a bit of a break today and took full advantage and moved on up to high camp. If they get a nice day tomorrow they'll try for the summit. It wasn't a beautiful day, but nice enough and they got up there. Still some winds above them, but hopefully they'll settle enough for a summit shot.

In Base Camp waiting for a flight.

We just got a call from Talkeetna Air Taxi, and Philip, Larry, and Ian have all reached base camp and are awaiting a flight to Talkeetna this morning.
