The
long-awaited Denali climb is happening! I'm heading up on Friday (5/10) to join a
12-person team from American Alpine Institute making an attempt up the West Buttress route. If all goes well,
we'll be at base camp on the mountain Sunday (5/12), standing on the summit
after Memorial Day and safely in the town of Talkeetna by June 1st.

You
can track us at the links below:
- American Alpine Institute Dispatches (we should share a dispatch every few days via satellite phone on the AAI blog. We're Team #2. Team #1 is already posting from the mountain).
- GPS Tracker (one of the guys is bringing a tracker. I'm not sure how well it will work, but you should be able to catch our progress from time to time).
- Pentaquest Facebook Page (if you haven't already, "like" this page for updates throughout the climbing season. I'll have someone post Denali updates here).
Game
on! See you guys in a month. I'll post about the climb when I get back on the grid.
