AMS team led by Josh Hoeschen and Chelsea Bomba have departed Talkeetna last evening around 5pm with Talkeetna Air Taxi for Kahiltna basecamp after a solid day of packing, park service orientation, fixed line ascension and generally having a good time preparing. This team has traveled from all over: Indonesia, Germany, Virginia, Brazil, etc. One person took a course with us and is now ready to tackle a Denali expedition! There has been a "best hat" friendly competition between guide Chelsea and climber Herbert: gold v 80's colors... See group photo.
